Flowers? No thank you, the crawly hors d'oeuvres killed my appetite.

hey! i never knew that women were not allowed in cemeteries, I thought it was only under 'certain conditions'? Anyway...the imagery of dead seeing women was awesome..what about dead women? didn't they see men? or maybe men weren't too bothered by it, ok I get it, I am slow but I am keeping up!
what if you had used scorpions and snakes instead of ants? ooo! maybe you wrote this piece b/c Halloween is near?

asadaly - Let me know the next time you are there. I will send you flowers.

sarah1983 - Thank you for reading. Tears are good. No?

ana - My grandmother has many amazing partition stories and what I call social theories of her own. Superstitions make the best of fiction.

Taji - Unlike a lot of people around us, I can not relate to the dead and that I guess is macabre.

DeuceExMachina - Sin is only organized religion.

CheGuevara - Maybe mujh jaysee bandiyoon ko banday passand he nahe hootay :P

neembu - Thank you.

bhs75 - I love those who can see the humor in this story.

Asra, I really liked your last article. As for this one, I have mixed feelings. Again it is written well, but at the same time it is quite macabre. But maybe that is what you meant it to be.

Keep writing.

"Happiness was a burger with more cheese and more fries than what others got."

I can totally relate to this definition of happiness!

Grandmothers have some interesting "truths", superstitions sometimes don't they?

Nicely written. :)
