there's an ocean in my body
there's a river in my soul
Well, oops. Sam had not considered the appropriateness of telling a story about missing sisters in front of Mabel, but...hopefully she'd forgive him. Watching her leave, he grit his teeth and went to focus back on the other two, smiling at their praise for his story (and 'horrible' was praise for a horror story, he thought). "Thank you."
Finally Nikolai's turn to tell a story arrived and Sam leaned forward to listen to what the man had brought to the event. It sounded quite nice honestly, living a simple and quiet life of work and sleep, but of course it got dark. A knocking mirror, a second self; not the most action-packed of horror tales, but subtle and creepy enough to earn an approving nod from Sam. "Wow! Creepy."
Not as many people as he had imagined had shown up to the event, but maybe that was a good thing; not too many stories to plague himself with at night. Looking to Cam and Nikolai, Sam thanked them both for coming and for sharing their stories, wished them luck in the gourd-infested world outside and went to close the shop.

if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
