Drawtober 31st and the prompt is ghost. When we approached the castle we could see one, or perhaps more, of the castle ghosts, winding in one of windows - was it a murder hole, I thought uneasily - and out the other. The ghost had been there long enough to lose any sort of human shape, if it had started out human at all. If you looked at it for a while, the surroundings seemed to melt away, except for where you could see through the ghosts whisper-y sparkles. There reality seemed to be solid. The darkness within the castle was sharp, black and peppered with ghostly sparkles. Solid with ghost matter. People sometimes entered the ruin for answers. We weren't quite ready for that, but if the ghosts were agitated it would be a sign that perhaps we might have to consult the ancestors. It's not something that's done lightly around here.
