"A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises. Ghosts were created when the first man awoke in the night."
~J.M. Barrie
Biting into heads
is much harder than it looks
the skull is fiesty
Different blood types
each have a unique flavor.
I'm a fan of O.
"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
~William Shakespeare
One need not be a chamber to be haunted. One need not be a house. The brain has corridors surpassing material place."
~ Emily Dickinson
