Dark October

They say souls of the deceased still hang around until the end of Harvest Month and revenge, torment, blame, flame, and ridicule the living. This goes on until the first of November. The souls need masks so no one realizes they are dead and their victims won't recognize them.

...I am in search of a mask for the hollow eve...
Who shall I be other than myself? who can I be?
Who will you be?
I will see you on the other side of paradise.
