Halloween 2018 Caption This! Photo Contest - #1 In the Graveyard
#1 In the Graveyard (Rogers City, Michigan)
My lover is kept, his vault sealed closed and can only be opened by my enchanted rose. Through dirt and through mud, and grass he shall rise. Up through the ground, he’ll shed all earthly ties.
His eyes shall be open, his spirit set free, my one true love shall return to me.
—  Teresa S.D.
