I didn’t know that people got pneumonia from breathing in all the fine grains of dust in the storms. I began to understand that the weather wasn’t just breezy and dusty. Storms, like the [...] I read a few spooky books this month in honor of Halloween. Oddly enough the thing that struck me about them wasn’t anything dealing with the paranormal.
