This Week's Messier Moments: October 30
Get spooky and welcome autumn with pics and music
Hope you’re enjoying the turn of the seasons. It’s literally a time when we begin to see things in a new light, and a fertile time for creativity as many of us spend more time indoors. Here are three Moments for you to sprinkle throughout your week — and to share with a friend:
Spooky Story Sprint: Start a short story with the prompt: “On a chilly autumn night, the leaves rustled mysteriously, as if whispering secrets of the past…” Try to create a suspenseful or spooky atmosphere, and see where your imagination takes you within the time limit.
Autumn Photo Hunt: Take a camera or smartphone, and go outside to capture the essence of autumn in a few photos. Look for scenes that depict the changing seasons, vibrant leaves, or Halloween decorations.
Halloween Soundtrack Challenge: Create a quick playlist of 3-5 songs that remind you of Halloween or fall. It could be songs with spooky themes, or just tracks that have an autumnal feel. Share the playlist with friends or family and see if they can guess the theme.
We’re always eager to hear how it’s going! Don’t be shy, let us know at hello@messier.co.
“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.”
– F. Scott Fitzgerald
