It was a full moon, the iridescent light reflecting off the surface of the waves and shining through to the bottom of the lagoon. Here, under the cover of darkness and waves, shadows elongate and shift like the tides of the sea. This is the place where creatures come to satiate their hunger and devour their dinners.

October’s title, forever overshadowed by its darker twin. Haunting its narrative a

The ride from Paris to Versailles is not a long one. It is filled with tourists and Frenchmen alike, filing onto the rattling metal box through the picturesque countryside, lost in their own world as the train moves on. A child sits on the upholstered seats – scratchy and weathered beneath her supple skin.
