Suzi's first Halloween image.. writing...

Just beginning.

Still anemic.

Still starving with this new sad hunger.

How do I know already where all of this will lead?

How do I know there is a We?

Others who feed. Others who control their starving.

How do I know where they gather?

How they hide in the open

On the Square wearing what the world sees as costume.

They have told me. Somehow.

And She has heard them somehow.

I shiver, feeling exposed, and seek the Square, the safety in numbers.

I feel what Charlotte is feeling from your imagery. It reflects the deeper meaning of All Hallows Eve.

Here's a clickable link.

Still need more coffee before I comment further - intense is the word that comes quickly to mind.

One of these days I'm going to learn how to do a clickable link Tonia.
Beautiful story to go with that picture Debbie.
You must be feeling pretty good if you can do this.

Good to see you posted this morning. Hope this means you are feeling better. Such a sad, sad poem. Saw the link you posted to the vampire (?) photo. For a minute I was worried about you.
