Raven Hollow
Cemetery
Midnight

Once, Raven Hollow's cemetery had been beautiful. Perhaps it was strange to call a field of buried bodies beautiful, but no other adjective fit it quite so well. Each headstone gleamed, scrubbed until the carved letters seemed to shimmer as they reflected the sunlight. Wildflowers swayed between the rows, bees and butterflies alike flitting between the brightly colored blooms. Tall, healthy trees cast their shade, their leaves aflame with the colors of an eternal autumn. It was a resting place befitting the lives of lost loved ones, thanks entirely to Daniel Esther, the gravekeeper. He had loved the grounds, and the many souls buried within it. In fact, it was this love that had ultimately cost him his life.

And with his death, so too did the beauty of the cemetery die. Weeds choked the wildflowers, storms ravaged the trees, and time chipped away at the grave markers until the names upon them became nearly illegible. They jutted from the ground like a junkie's crooked, rotting teeth, dull and lifeless beneath the full moon. A heaviness blanketed the area, perhaps a bit too intense to be simply lingering grief from times long ago.
