Inktober prompt: Hope. White and red ink on black paper. (For some reason the scan makes the white look a little blue, but I only used the two colours.)
Superstitions: Skull.
It was claimed in Ireland for many years that if a man took an oath on a skull and was lying as he did so, he would be struck dead soon thereafter.
* Maybe we should bring that back and make politicians swear on the skulls of those who lied and died. I bet there would be less lying thereafter.
