It's St. Patrick's day this week. A day that commemorates the Saint and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It celebrates the Irish luck that people feel because of the occasion.

Some people just can't catch a break, and suffer through with a string of terrible luck. Is it just a coincidence? Or was something done to anger the spirits?

Sometimes, the ground beneath you isn't as solid as it seems. It shifts, breathes, and remembers. The forest doesn’t just grow, it watches, whispers, and waits for you.
