Tell us who you are. Give us your name. So we may sing songs of your journeys. Your troubles and victories. Sell us your image. Your face and your voice. So we may keep you forever. A living person kept in a glass cage. Let us use you and bleed you dry. A puppet. A... Continue Reading →

So many imperfections cobbled together. Is it supposed to be a man? Or a work of modern art? Does it feel at odds with the world? Does it feel at all? Project your feelings on it. Personify it. Make it a deal and trade it a wish. It is ethereal. It is human. It is... Continue Reading →
I'm lost without your wild heart leading me. Directionless and neglected. No North star leading me from the wilderness. A savage land where I cannot stake my claim.

An empty husk walking amongst the living. Followed by curious spirits and mischievous ghouls. Dark omens stay hidden in shadow. For the Pumpkin King has made their presence known. Large back birds gather on rooftops. Watching the makeshift parade of misfits and tricksters. They knock on doors, demanding sweet treats. Anyone who turns them away... Continue Reading →
Eye of newt, seed of yellow. Make this position to heal a fellow. Or if you are trying to leave your mark. Try the tongue of dog, it has no bark. The wool of bat and blood red berries. Makes an elixir that can be quite scary. The adder’s tongue and blind-worm too. That is... Continue Reading →
