This Thursday, we had storytelling at the Tapi Camp. Because we are so close to Dia de Muertos, the theme was scary stories. Even though not all the stories followed the theme, there were several that were quite frightening\u2014and some were even downright disturbing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The first story was a poem from Kailo. A poetic depiction titled “DAWN,” focusing on the transition from night to day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
