BWitty

Dark. So terribly dark. From such pitchy shadows seeps a sound as would be the dry scrape of rusted razor across tender throats held tightly under baleful glare of an ever mute Diana. Fears blend with dream and soon enough comes the wicker-men half-glimpsed out of the corner of the eye, and burning jack-o-lanterns smiling mocking smiles



of knowing what makes ones heartbeat skip and pulse race ...perhaps some places are meant to exist only as a dreamtime labyrinth outside of time and space...Clustered close together as much for companionship as for protection our tribe of revelers stave off the worst as kegs are tapped and boil forth in founts of amber goodness...a sweeter sight has never formed as spirits of wood and field gather round the harvest bonfire to lift voices into the night sky. Spilled intentions and woodsmoke cloud the atmosphere. Let the Rites of Autumn run loose under the forgiving embrace of the night but beware for something



wicked lurks in those woods...
