24 October 2026 - days of yore

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Not everyone is old enough to remember the days of yore, when life was simple and it all made sense. "Of course your cousin drowned. That's what happens when you anger the river god." Though you never know. It could have been a witch's curse. Then fools went and invented sciences and technologies and all those long words. But we still yearn for the past, and do our best to think in the old ways.
