Have a Happy Late Halloween, All Saint's Day, and All Soul's Day

Rememberence of all Souls Day

     Now for those of you who may remember. On Labor day I mentioned I created a different image and wasn't thinking so straight or should I say in following creativity and ignoring reason and purpose. I don't regret it cause I like the piece though I'm sad that I wasn't able to come up with something better for Labor Day. 

     Anywho this image I think fits for most of these holidays. As you may already know, October 31st is All Hallows Eve, November 1st is All Saint's Day, and November 2nd is All Souls Day. Death and Halloween go hand in hand, so the picture fits in that aspect. Plus the spirits around it help it fit for what I ended up deciding this picture is great for All Souls Day. She has Forget-Me-Nots which in the flower language means true love and/or memories. So, I created a little story to go with this; I may explore into it further and expand upon it.

   She had died long ago before her lover. She was lost in death and didn't wish to move on, so she became a ghost. But alas the world of death and ghosts was not easy and didn't let her get more then a glimpse of her love before being drawn into the underworld. She manage to escape, however time is hard to keep track of in death. It feels so meaningless. She found the living world a very different place then she remembered. After much wandering, she found her lover's grave. She silently wonders whether or not he became a ghost, but decided if that was the case they would of found each other already. She leaves forget-me-knots upon his grave for every symbolic date she remembers. Yet still unable to move on.

   I got to admit the game, Geist Sineaters, is quite an inspiration for all death related themes. I highly recommend it if you like role playing dice games, here is link for the quickstart which is free of course.
