The following piece was an entry for our Halloween Writing social media campaign where we asked OU students to write 1000 words on anything scary or horror related to help get us all into the Halloween spirit.
October’s presence brings a change in the air
A fire runs rife within me
Moon-lit skies are ever present
Spirits walk among us, dancing free
Spells are cast within the shadows
The underworld blurs with ours
Samhain, gather our spirits
Ancient prophecies fulfilled
Crackling bonfires engulf the air
Voicing their chant plainly
Children dance around the fire
Their dress macabre
Rain tiptoes on our windows
Solstice nears
Saints bring forth their daily gifts
We say goodbye to Hallow’s Eve
