I can believe that they would be tempted to revert to paganism. Well written and spooky.<br />NancyN. R.

Your words made me pause for reflection. I love the polarity of this poem. The way you express the power and passion and eternal optimism of the human spirit even in the depths of a living hell. I too believe that the light will ultimately prevail over darkness. Thank you for sharing.

Of course our systems can fail, and with no backup for technology, man usually reverts to the basic needs.<br /><br />Unique interpretation, Sally, and a tale that harkens to what is important, not the latest techie toys, but hope in the face of disaster and perseverance. Well done.D.G.

This kind of story is more scary to me than a "typical" ghost story or horror story because it rings so clearly of truth.

However, you took it to another level. I can believe in a UK where the sun don't shine. I like the sinister feel of this and think you combined setting and incantations, spells and wizardry masterfully into a great, creepy Halloween tale. <br /><br />Thanks for participating in the WEP challenge Sally. Your pieces are always unique.<br /><br />Denise :)Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596586419077019479.post-22398325523280501242014-10-31T13:17:22.337-07:002014-10-31T13:17:22.337-07:00I too, love the grey once in a while, but sunshine...I too, love the grey once in a while, but sunshine is life.
