Winter. A time of year we all know well.

Jackie O’lantern and Calavera “Cala” Haunts lived on the same street. But you never knew two more different witches. For Jackie was good, always hanging out candy and casting good luck spells. 

Lily stood stock still in the parlor. Today was choosing day so all the Head Workers were there, studying the wards.
