Dear seaturtleisland,

It is called 'El Dia De Las Muertos' in Mexico.... They create elaborately-decorated skulls made out of crystallized sugar, and have puppet shows with eerie skull-faced marionettes...it is a fascinating custom!
The artwork for this celebration is remarkable!

There are animals that do that. Several types of fish and amphibians will have members change to a different gender if the population of said gender is too low.

A ghost, not knowing they are already dead, fearing for their life when the living invade their home.

And the ghosts hide shaking under the stairs and in attics, hoping the living will never notice them.

This reminds me of the movie "The Others".

How long will it be before the pancakes finally get angry and stomp all over the ice cubes who have been stealing all of the syrup?

Ostrich eyelashes everywhere at Kew Gardens. Flooding of Orangina angina. Regenerating legumes. Pah! Teflon down your throat.
Terrapins with maracas playing on the Christmas special. I've got a ring made of mousonium that lets me summon the spirit of pancakes.

Fickle clovers lay apart. At a loß, you sneeze. It’s not like you’ve spent the last decade diving into salmon oil, is it? Notwithstanding smoldering hesitations, you force yourself to keep going. The leap is long overdue. And it’s covered in dew, too.

You can’t let your mind meß around. The foreboding glitter is still down there, bewitching your tired consciousneß, spurring you forward …

When I wake up I am in a Twilight Zone episode & I am one of several toys stuck in an enclosed building and it is not a building at all, but a child's toy box.
