Drop by drop the snow pack dies, watering the arid lands below. |
The October 29, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum" is You've been invited to spend a night at a Haunted Castle. What would you pack? Since an invitation suggests that the room and meals are paid for, I would take enough travelers checks to purchase souvenirs and incidentals. I wouldn't want to take a credit or debit card because the Haunted Castle could be a con to steal my identity; I don't know why anyone (except perhaps a ghost) would want to steal my identity considering my credit rating is laying under a headstone in the cemetery, but it always pays to be over cautious in these situations. What else would I take with me? A prayer book so that I could say prayer for the departed. If it really is a Haunted Castle then the spirit is probably hanging on their for one reason or another. The ghost or spirit could be hanging on because it either doesn't know its body died or unfinished business, but either way it never hurts to say prayer for the spirit that is haunting the place. I would also take two decks of playing cards. I almost positive that any ghost haunting a castle hasn't had much experience playing solitary on a computer and it's difficult to play double solitary on a computer anyway. Since I have no intention of offering the ghost a separate computer because of the time it would take to instruct the poor fellow or gal on the proper use of a computer. All though, I might want to take more then two decks of cards in case there is more then one ghost, I mean I don't want to insult any ghost by not having enough cards for several games of double, triple, or quadruple solitary. I know if I were a ghost, I'd be insulted if someone came to my Haunted Castle and didn't bring enough cards for me to play solitary or any other game my friends or I wanted to play. |
