Set in early Season 1. 110 words...

Title: Yin
Prompt: "Samhain"

O'Neill.

A good Irish name.

I haven't felt Irish my whole life, really.

Though, I do remember some things my relatives told me about Celtic culture.

Like Samhain.

Summer's end.

Winter's beginning.

When darkness takes over light.

In my experience, it never fails...

When November hits, the weather sharply changes.

Warm turns to cold.

Sometimes I feel like I'm in the Samhain of my life.

Ever since losing Charlie.

My dark side is all I see now.

I've turned cold.

And I can't find my way out of it alone.

But these people...

My team.

I'm beginning to see that they might just be my way back to the light.

Author's Note: Samhain, literally meaning 'Summer's End,' is the Celtic festival held on November 1st, which some say marked the Celtic New Year ... Yin -- the dark negative feminine principle in Chinese dualistic cosmology

What was I supposed to do? If someone says they love Gordo, I have to love them. And your other roomies are so nice to you all the time, so I just have to love them all.

*huggles your roomies*

I'm so glad you have better luck with them this year.

*huggles you*

You? Are awesome!

You are welcome, too. The frog is my second favorite.

And thank you.

I think you and the other Sarah roomies are awesome, too. That is why I did send you the magnetic!toys. That and so you don't have to abuse Sarah's Gordo anymore. ;)

*random observation* His hair's sticking up in the first one. He should comb it.
*stares at the pics some more*

Yeah. If I could change anything about him, I'd make his hair stop sticking up.
That, and he would be whumped a LOT more often...

I love Sarah's friend for loving me for loving Sarah! :) The little horsey is sooo cute; I named him Charlie so he could be my Charlie Horse. That was so very sweet of you, Roadie. Thanks for thinking of us! (We get jealous of Sarah's abundant mail sometimes.) Oh, and Sarah said my horse had a mohawk and called him a punk! Tell her to be sweet, or her froggy candy might come up missing. Hee. :D

Heehe, you are welcome. I'm glad you like the punk horse. *gg*

And I don't think I have to tell Sarah to be sweet. She is always sweet. Don't harm her froggies. I'm sure she is willing to share.

okay

Yes, I admit, Sarah is always sweet. I won't harm the froggies...this time. :)

Good for the froggies. Though I just heard they might not make it through the night anyway.

And? How did you like them? Where would you rank them?

They are one of my least favorite HARIBO gummy stuff. But my brother and Christian love them.
