Javier sat on the cemetery wall, checking his list, and tried to ignore the bleating goat. He promised Alma he would follow her instructions tonight and he couldn’t disappoint her. Long ago, he had pledged his love and swore to protect her with his life. She said it would never come to that.
That night the cemetery lay shrouded in eerie silence. The full moon illuminated the goat and voodoo relics swimming in a pool of blood on the discarded marble slab.
Javier knelt, marveling at Alma’s pale skin sparkling in the wan light and raised her from her slumber.

Dear Jo,
I’m left trying to figure out whether Alma is alive or not. Atmospheric and intriguing piece.

That’s a fair trade. The goat’s life for the life of a loved one. But still, poor goat!

I’m not sure this is a good idea… I have a feeling that Alma will be a very different Alma when Javier is ready… (maybe she will bleat for instance)
