The Flies of Elizabeth. Content Warning.
This story takes place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. A town called Crowsville. Rarely sunny, quiet, usually cold, and almost always covered in a cloud of mist. The buildings are solid brick and Victorian, with the downtown area akin to one large townhome, that is, most of the buildings are so close together they might as well be one large structure. Perhaps the most important, defining quality of this small town is that the citizens are perpetually in Halloween spirit. Costume parties happen every weekend. Pumpkins are commonly grown, and most people have jack-o-lanterns on their porch or doorstep. “Skello’s Pumpkins for the Living and Dead” is the local pumpkin patch and provides all the pumpkins at a commercial level. They also host the semi-annual Scare Fest, a large festival dedicated to scaring off evil spirits in October (Halloween) and celebrating the art of communication with the dead in summer (Summerween). You’ll also find pumpkins in the backyards of those who have gardens, their vines wrapped and tangled along the fences.

To Suzanne,
Dear Suzanne, my beloved sister, I know we haven’t spoken in years, and you may find this letter a surprise considering the newspaper published my obituary. But I wanted to reach out to you, I need someone I can talk to. Someone to listen. I want to reconnect with you.
