Chapter 17 - Halcyon

Halcyon. Means purification, peace. And 'Halloween,' was actually called hallows eve, meaning saint, or holy.

People used to dress up with masks to scare any demons away.

I hate it when people start demonizing Halloween. Or giving adults the license to scare kids. Can't we just enjoy the holiday? Like how it was meant to be?

Taking something so beautiful, and desecrating its memory.

From painted masks that now cry tears that once chased our fears, now invite the darkness and delight, as 'hallows eve' lost its sight.

As the wind blew out the lights, and Halloween became a vessel of frights.
