Earth Spirit

As the sun set on ‘Halloween,’ Crim and I ran over to the campus store to purchase (with our pitiful food points) the makings of…well…A college made feast. Can’t expect it to be too epic. We had mashed potatoes, rice, and pumpkin spiced milk. I had tomato soup, since no one else wanted to delve into that with me. We also had sour cream and cheese that Crim and I beat into our potatoes until they were less bland.

We had…well, three places set out, but multiple more guests in attendance. Two humans, six animals. Rice isn’t good for them, but its not as bad in the spirit world, I would hope.

I know my Bandit said goodbye last night. However, I don’t know if my father came…But someone did. Someone I didn’t recognize. Probably mid-twenties, definitely more strongly northern-European than my father. He was much paler.

But he enjoyed dinner.

So friend, whoever you might be, thank you for coming. (And not being super scary when I had to wander back to my room alone last night.)

The bonfire we had planned for last weekend didn’t happen because people were sick and it rained. But things worked out well anyway. For our lack of available food (it was Halloween, of course there was no food in the store!) and fire, I think we managed a very nice dinner.

I can still feel that sensation from last night though, and I think I want to hang onto it for a while. Someone was really happy with what we did.

So Crim, Lumi, thank you for indulging me in my ignorances last night, and I hope we can do this again next year.
