We Flower

The note on my pillow read:

Stay in your room.
Lock the door.
Don’t go outside, no matter what you hear.
Tonight, We Flower.

I did as instructed, amidst the cacophonic revelry; the shouting, the singing, the drums, the howls.

Gods! Those howls!

The screams.

Spencer’s door opened and closed with a soft click at around 01:30. Evidently curiosity got the better of him. He hasn’t returned.

I’ll give him until midday before I make for the next town. I intend to arrive well before nightfall.

I have no intention of being caught under the light of the full moon.
