THIRD MINOR SPIRIT FOR OCTOBER
Instead of Inktober, I'm doing something else. A spirit a day for October,.

Threadfingers

Walking among the trees after sunset, you may brush through a spiderweb.

It's not a spiderweb.

They have such long thin delicate hands, ephemeral fingers trailing through the human hair they're so attracted to. Humans are too massive for them to do more, so they wait for someone who is hollowed out, their life nearly as tenuous as they are.

So go ahead, talk a walk while you grieve. Perhaps not in the park, though.
