“Happy Halloween.”
“You’re worrying too much. Please stop. Enjoy this time. There is adequate rest, food, shelter, and story. What more could you ask for, dear love? The work is just this,” Loki says as the wind whips my hair around my face and the raven flies overhead.

“I am not that smart,” I tell him, tears stinging hot from my eyes.
“What are you measuring by?” Loki asks.
“Other people’s minds. Mine works differently. I see things simplified.”
“That’s why what you write is consumable. Complex ideas, alchemized into simple reflections of you, a mortal, and I, a god.”
