ahoy there mateys
tis that spooky time of year when the ghosts of all flora and fauna past come to haunt us all. in the forests, spectral spruces and sycamores sprout. in the skies, ghoulish goldfinches take flight. in the oceans, ghostly corals send their phantom polyps to and fro. among all of these eerie creatures, there is one dude of whom you must be particularly cautious. be on the lookout for a weird lad in a cheap plastic inflatable flamingo costume that is far too small for him, slowly perusing the forests of maine in anticipation for a woody plants exam. some say his name is “soren,” while others say it’s simply “hey you.” either way, he is fueled by stress, and that is the spookiest motivation of all.
