Ritual of Fire and Moon

Astral energies manifest on the Chicago coast in the summers. Mystics put their crystals out and gather at the ritual to heed the moon when he’s full. We ogle as pyrotechnics transmit messages from the stars for us to decipher in the flames. It seems that they’re asking: are you brave enough to play with fire? Naively I obliged. But if curiosity killed the cat, then superstition melted my face.
