A town's ghost stories
90Living historically.
The night's entertainment. Superstition was ordinary.
The review
Not every story at the fire was Bunyan. A child also got the local dead: a witch, a light, a man who did not stay buried. People believed more of it than a later century likes to admit.
The score is low because the tale does not ask anyone to be better, truer, or more useful. It asks them to be afraid. Fear was a real pastime. It is still a thin one.

The glance
Industry is the thin one.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
The eight
- 9Industry
No work. A thrill.
- 9Household
Told by the fire, which is a family act. The content does not build a house.
- 9Piety
Fear of spirits is not reverence. It is the opposite of a catechism.
- 9Courage
A child listens. He is not asked to do anything brave.
- 9Republic
The town shares a scare. It does not share a duty.
- 9Temperance
Dread, portioned at night. Not cruelty. Not a lesson in appetite either.
- 9Truth
Told as if it happened. Often it did not. The story does not care.
- 9Stewardship
Handed on, and what is handed on is a fright.
