Some scenes from my home last night. We're getting a reputation in the neighborhood. #Halloween
My two older sons dressed as pirates in our Pirates of the Caribbean themed yard. Two skeletons playing chess by the light of the candleabra. 7-foot skeleton dressed as a pirate with electronic eyes next to a cauldron set over a smoldering fire. One-eyed pirate sitting in a crate dressed in women's clothing.

“Isolation is a form of control.” “What?” Denera asked. “I said, isolation is a form of control,” Desten repeated. “Which is why I invited you over for dinner,” Omoro said. The four of them were gathered in Omoro’s house; sitting in the living room with refreshments as Omoro and Desten tried to begin their uprising. - From "Omoro" by Brian S. Converse
