On a chilly November evening, a mother and son journey to a remote cemetery in Michoacán, Mexico, on the Night of the Dead.
Amid the marigolds, melting candles, and revelers dressed in colorful masks and skeleton outfits, the seven-year-old boy senses that something is amiss. Why has his mother brought him to this eerie and haunting place?
As they wind their way through the graves, his mother lays a special dessert dish in front of a weathered grave. The boy stares at the words on the icing in disbelief. She pulls a faded, tattered photo from her pocket and shares a secret about their past that changes his life forever.
“The Cemetery” is an atmospheric, memorable short story that sets a young person on a lifelong mission to unravel questions of identity, trust, and the thin veil between the living and the dead.
