The Lake
It happened ten years ago. But I will always remember the night that I died. It's funny now, that I am actually involved in the business of living. And ironically I am currently living the life of my dreams, and more. But each time I view myself in the mirror, I can still note the changes that only I am able to see. I still feel the differences in my body, present from the night of my death. My body responds to the commands of my brain a little faster than they used to. I wonder if that's what the expression means of "faking it to make it". The only person I have never been able to fool is my mother. After the night it happened I would often catch looks of her denoting that something was not quite right with me.

History about Halloween!
Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween 2021 will occur on Sunday, October 31. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats. Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, mostly in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1.

The Secret
Nate heard the sound of the shower kick on, Nora was first tonight, but he would be lying if he said he could wait to get clean himself. It had been a fairly busy day, and after a week of working second shift, getting a good night’s sleep was a blessing. He threw on his coat and made his way to the front door. Nate needed a cigarette, even if the weather outside was frightful. An early season nor’easter had decided to blow through, and the wind was howling in the sideways rain.

The Lady of The Lake
There once was a girl in the Pacific Northwest who held everything in the palm of her hand. Hers was a life of luxury, of affluence and influence – her childhood was served on a silver platter, as she was attended by a devoted mother, a doting father, and free of siblings to ruin the course of their favoritism. A staff assisted her when needed, modest but respectable, and she wanted for nothing. Her upbringing echoed the stories spun by Hollywood, which lay in the foothills of her haven – she was the envy of her age, her school, her community, and soon, much more. She lacked obstacles, and every opportunity awaited her. She set the stage, the scene, the mood, she was the life of the party, and the aspiration of all. She was a leader, a bold pioneer (of what, we cannot tell), and loud for all the world to hear – and they all followed. Every word. Every picture. Every carefully framed moment. Every curated thought, recycled, repacked, rebranded, and repainted as something new. She was incredibly important, she thought, and without fault, she knew (aside from minor character flaws – caring too much, thinking too deeply, and her love of dairy) – or so she thought she knew.

So She Screamed
It’s a grey afternoon as Jack Forester rowed his boat in the great sea, North of England. He knew a storm would be shortly coming in but he has been wanting to go fishing all summer - why would I turn back now? He thought as he looked towards the shore which is miles away from where his boat is sitting. His goal is to catch at least 6 dozen fish and planned to stay as long as he could for the last 3 dozen needed. As he brought up another Codfish, Jack saw something pale in the corner of his eye slightly below the surface of the grey lake. He put down his rod and leaned over his boat, trying to make the sight of what is floating below his boat. It looked rotted as it floated around the water. Some sort of green ooze swarmed the unknown object.
