Today is October 31st, which means nothing less than that today is the day of days! Halloween. A thick, cool mist passes through, thick enough that it clings to skin and clothing like a damp veil. The sun, slowly sinking on the horizon, is hidden behind shadowy wisps of clouds that color the sky a gloomy, restless gray. In the distance, an old tree creaks quietly, and a slightly rotten, mossy smell rises from the damp earth. The wind is unsteady, sometimes calm, sometimes stormy, as if it were.
