Give Us This Day
Through the twining forests where brittle frost crunches like shattered glass and the wind holds still and silent; to the holiday kitchens where strange smells burn, and virulent colors swell from rotting food; into the twilight cities, cold and harsh and wantonly eager for violence—as the days grow shorter, the nights blasphemously deep, and inhibitions weaker, something ancient and starving stirs.
