Holding on to the Past Destroying the Present Changing the Future

Author’s Note: This is a retelling of the story, Dead Men’s Path.

Although many people think that a person can change, sometimes they never really do. In the short story Dead Men’s Path the main character Michael Obi recently got a new job as the headmaster at a very small school. This school is a lot smaller than the average modern-day school now.

Unfortunately, this school had a small path heading to the town’s cemetery. Michael Obi didn’t like the idea of the path there even though it had been there longer than his father had. He still didn’t like the idea of it there. He decided to do something about it, and he would tell anyone who would listen.

The villagers didn’t like that idea of him getting rid of it. Michael put up barbed wire so they couldn’t use it. This fight had gone on long enough. So finally the villagers just cracked. They destroyed the plants around the path and part of the school.
