I worked in a cemetery digging up graves, it was not a great job, nor very well paid. Then one day I was totally freaked out, it was night time I was about to leave when all of a sudden I was submerged in a strange green light.
Bodies came out of their graves and began to surround me

Horror Writing Prompt no. 2050: cemetery light
As the new graveyard keeper, Jasper began to notice fairy lights in the cemetery at night. He'd been told at a young age they could lead a man to his death. So who were the townspeople gathering here at night?

The #cemetery light shone over the mausoleums. If you looked carefully within the beam, you might catch a glimpse of the spirits as they wandered past. They all had their own destinations, but for one brief moment, they had their turn in the light, before going back to darkness.

...and on the New Orleans moonless night, the cemetery light dances among San Luis' tombs like a wisp of fog pushed by a nonexistent wind, carrying with it the ghostly murmurs of the Mambo and the Houngan, as powerful as they were feared. Those who are long gone, but never forgotten.

The voice keeps telling me how worthless I am. Merciless. Over and over and over, how I'm a failure as a husband and a father and an employee and as a man, until there is nothing left to stop the voice until I start smashing my skull against this brick wall.

The purge was #merciless in its design. Not only the betrayers, but three whole generations of their families. Children, parents, grandparents. All were eliminated, the victors could not take that chance.
Of course, that meant a lot of ghosts lingered, hungry for justice.
