The last book of three short stories from "Hey! Zeus!!" Short blasts of quirky fiction by Janette Davies.

POLLY and LOUISE

Louise and I are twins. Ever since we were five, we wanted to go into the Police Force. I was going into CID and Louise into Uniform.

ALL SAINTS' DAY

The first day of November is All Saints' Day. In Spain, it is also known as The Day of the Dead.

On this day, people will travel great distances, in order to visit the cemeteries where their dearly beloved's remains lie. They bring flowers to decorate the graves in the burial grounds and put garlands around the trees.

The families meet to celebrate the lives of their dearly departed and enjoy picnics on the grass, laying extra places for the ones who have passed over.
