He walked forward carefully, trying not to step anywhere close to a gravestone where a body might be buried. • "Halloween night is not a good time to walk over some dead guy's face," he • ,Ill whispered to himself, stepping over shards ~ of broken pottery. · ......:.. ,la..ri'!!~:'lli The way the moonlight played tricks on his • !iii eyes, he began to wonderifoneofthe bodies might be lying there under the topsoil, waiting for him to ~~~E~ come a little closer. He imagined a decayed ann ~ a• reaching out of the ground to strangle him. • A strong wind blew through the forest clearing, sending a shower ofleaves down on top of him. From out of th~ tremblingbushes,-a snake slithered under the dead leaves and across the boy's path. Trying to control his bowel movements, the boy broke in"to a run. • Shoulder pads and a helmet bounced up and down in time to his canter. He had cut through this cemetery several times before, but it now seemed longer than he'd ever remembered. He ran harder, feeling the world moving in slow motlon beneath his feet. The atmosphere became darker as a cloud moved into an eclipse between the moon and the Earth, only the gossamer yellow edges of the corona lighting the ground. A newly fallen tree branch laid in the dirt partially covered by Spanish moss. The boy stumbled over it in the darkness, landing face down in the mud. • Lifting his head, he Stared at the gaping six foot deep hole in front of him. It had the resemblance of a freshly dug grave. At the bottom was an open bag oflime, probably there to make the bodies decay faster. The moon came out of hiding and illuminated the cemetery once again. Picking the leaves off his • jersey, the boy stood up. He looked around and saw no decaying anns reaching oui for him, no corpses chasing him, and no ghosts emerging from the clouds in the sky. There was nothing at all scary about the situation. The boy wondered what could have inspired such unfounded fear. "Just my imagination," he answered himself, turning around to leave. The mud gave way beneath his feet, sending him plummeting to the bottom of the_open grave. He grasped desperately forthe walls of dirt. The earth crumbled between his fingers. His cleats could find no hold in the soft mud. In one final attempt to escape the pit, he dug his finger nails into the dirt and pulled his face to the surface of the hole. He peered over the edge of the grave and found himself facing the newly carved headstone. His heart trembling, the boy examined the granite marker only to find it bearing a name very familiar • to him. It read, "Here lies the Savannah State Tigers. Welcome to UCF Homecoming 1991."
