Current Mood:  cold
Once a year, in the deep of winter, creatures of winter inhabit the figures made of snow. If there was a snowman out front, it gets up and walks away. If you made a snow snake, it grows, engorged and slithers down the street. It's relatively easy to deal with these creatures, you just need to hit them with a thrown stick or rock and they will dissolve away. They hurry though. Hurry to some unknown destination. Most want nothing to do with you. The Good Folk have better things to do and better places to be.
At least until you find a spirit of the dead that has come back on that deep, cold night. It takes the snow and carefully molds it into the shape of it's former body and tries to approach people, to touch the unwary, and let them share it's snowy grave.
At least this is what I say last night and woke up in a fear because one of the dead spirit had caught ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) the_tall_man and killed another friend (dream friend, not actually someone I know). We were panicked. We'd banished the little girl twice but the_tall_man was nowhere to be seen. We crossed the alley again and again, calling his name, poking sticks into snow banks to find him. But since this was my dream, I woke up before we found out if he had frozen or suffocated to death. Now I'm sitting beside him while he sleeps.
Be wary of the snow children. They can be angered if you do not play with them. Get behind a threshold and stay there. Stay there lest they take those you love from you. |
