Day 145: Skeleton City 4:00. Early morning, before sunrise. An empty park in the city. This city is fully steeped in darkness, from the looks of the place. It wouldn’t surprise me if the sun doesn’t even end up rising. Everything around me is withered and wasted, even the trees in this park, which no one bothers to tend to anymore.

People’s views on witches have transformed from the pre-modern period to today. During the pre-modern time, many people believed the Devil carried out evil deeds through witches, but the witches were to blame for all of the misfortunes caused (Kramer and Sprenger 2). The modern era, though, rejects that belief. Today, it is rumored that witches are no longer associated with the Devil, and a witch is anyone at all who performs magic (Bolds 1).
