Hayward Fault Line

Theme:  All Saints

Shrines spring up in the most unlikely places.  Not just the ones on top of mountains, or the ones along riverbeds, or under trees.  Shrines appear in back allies, where someone has chipped away a brick and inserted a drawing or clay figure in its place; or, yet again, in the desert, soon to lost to the shifting wins.  Shrines are always coming into being.  We need them.  So, take a moment and write a story within the guidelines for All Saints.
