Bonfire

[Mirah]

Bone fire
In ancient times

This time of year
people would sit around the fire and talk about the people they lost
they would toss in offerings to drive away evil spirits
Old bones
Build a pile of old bones
and burn away the shadows
because from here on in
the shadows get deeper
the nights get longer
we're heading in to the dark
and we have to hang on to each other
because we can only carry so much


Quote from The Haunting of Bly Manor S1 ep4

I miss bonfires

 

[Mirah]

The pumpkins scare the evil spirits away

 

[Mirah]

The dogs howled in the distance

 

[Mirah]

The man snored in the next room over.

 

[Mirah]

An almost comforting sound

 

[Mirah]

The end of the year was tortourous for some, but none would have imagined what was to come in the year ahead.
