Fiction: The Ghost in the Library
No one knew who the ghost was in Madam Maxim's manor library but all were certain there was one. Madam's housekeeper, butler, maids, relatives and visitors to the manor all claimed they saw it.
    At the beginning of the spring season, James Washington Maxwell, a friend of Madam's granddaughter's friend's cousin, was invited for a long visit at the manor. Ghosts to him were all nonsense and catawampuses. He had no fear of encountering them.

Lucia was emancipated from her parents, husband, siblings, friends and yet, her life was not idyll nor peaceful. Doing everything herself was something she had never done before but she was willing. When she brought the broken down house, she had hoped to turn it into a bed and breakfast to maybe make a living and restart her life without everybody interfering. About a year into the renovation, she broke her leg and all her plans went kaput. 
    That fateful night, Lucia was just tidying up the livingroom after the workers had finished for the day when one of the scaffolds collapsed on her. It took four painful minutes before she mustered the will to call which ended in a shouting match with one surly building contractor before she was taken to the hospital.

Fiction: Meet the Family
Like his contemporaries, James wanted to make a good impression when his would-be bride meet his family but he knew they were not the kind of normal people would expect.
    The instant Sophia stepped into the entry, she was greeted with a bloodcurdling scream. "It's the clock," said James. He had forgotten to tell his father to change the sounds but it was October and his family loved Halloween. His eldest sister Mercy, who had opened the door, smirked. Sophia's eyes widened but she was smiling. He ushered her into the livingroom and introduced his father, Pat, his mother Eliza, his other elder sisters, Savor, Grace, his three uncles Stuart, Arthur, Clay and their wives Sandy, Amelia and Caroline and each of their teenager, Samatha, Arthur Jr. and Clara.
    In the dinning room, Sophia sat between James and Mercy. His mother usually sat at the head but she went to the kitchen to fetch more food though the entire dinning table was already covered with victuals that you couldn't even see the table.
    James tried to smile away his nervousness. He couldn't help but noticed Sophia's hesitant smile. Was it necessary for his uncle Arthur to ask how was her last menstruation? He was a gynecologist but she wasn't his patient. Did Savor had to inquire if Sophia was allergic wolf fur? Did Caroline needed to know if Sophia's family had a history of insanity?

Draw Something October 2026

It had become a habit to dedicate October as a month to draw something so that's what I'm going to do again. Last year, I had a theme so this time, the theme is witches, mainly, cat witches. These are students with a few teachers of the Sisterhood of Magical & Culinary Arts - a traveling school for magic, mayhem & culinary - at least, that's what I came up with. Here is the first one which I sort based her on Matilda by Roald Dahl.

Name: Matila Elizabeth Waterbaker
Age: 12 & 1/4
Loves: Discovering boring things about the universe through books and information curated by the librarians of the world, chocolate, riding her bicycle
Hates: School works, walking in the rain with wet socks, people who do not mind their manners
Ability: Moves things with her mind
Curious Tidbit: Matila was once an apprentice to a haughty librarian who turned Matila into a mouse for a week.

What are you doing this October?
