    A father and his 10 year-old son love to celebrate Halloween. This particular year, his son wants to turn his front yard into a graveyard to appease all the neighborhood kids and gain acceptance among his classmates. Through an online ad, they are able to find a place to purchase gravestones to set up their awesome display. Little do they know the consequences of what is about to befall them on Halloween night!

    I was raised by a single mother, born in Orlando having lived in South Jersey and the last several years in South Florida. After having attended the University of Florida as a Microbiology major, I took time off from school, moved home to South Florida, and started in the restaurant business. I decided to go back to school, majoring in forensic science and soon realized my love for writing and film. I then attended the University of Miami, dual enrolling as a Motion Pictures/English major with an emphasis on creative writing. I am divorced, have a daughter on the verge of teenager-hood, and thoroughly enjoyed my experience writing my first book, From Boy to Man: Memoirs of a Single Dad. In 2019, I completed my first fictional novel, The W.A.N.D. Epic - Book One: The Foretelling. I spent a year reworking it, editing it and now it is available for purchase and will be the first book in a five-book series of the W.A.N.D. Epic.

      Tombstones - J. Martin Turner

      Tombstones

      Dad, it's October. When are we going to decorate for Halloween, screamed out Vic, just after waking up early one Saturday morning.

      The autumn air was crisp, the temperatures cool. As Vic came running down the hallway, Vic's father was standing in the middle of the living with the windows open, the cool crisp air whipping throughout. With every breeze, the sound of the leaves outside on the street make a cackling sound as they roll down the road.

      Vic's eyes lit up when he realized his father had all the decorations sprawled out all over the living room. Boxes adorned the room, half-opened and decorations of skeletons, pumpkins, witches, spiders, and vampires were scattered about. Upon seeing this, Vic let out a shrill that could make anyone's spine tingle. It was a combination of excitement, amusement, and amazement, much the same way a child screeches when arriving at an amusement park or theme park for the first time.

      I'm already one step ahead of you, buddy, Vic's dad replied with pure enjoyment.

      Vic and his father spent the morning and afternoon hanging decorations. Dad, let's put the spider webs above the light to make it look spooky, Vic exclaimed.

      Sounds good, buddy. When you're done with that, why don't you hang the witch on the back of the door, so every time we leave, we can make sure she keeps an eye on the house.

      Dad, she's not real.

      They both laugh and continue decorating.

      "Once we finish the inside, are we going to
