The Insidious Month of March

Lest we forget the fateful Ides, and the fact it's still winter for this month, the month of March is not a friend. It's an enemy. Enemies lurk and then reveal themselves in full view in this month. Anything you believed before will be shown to be the exact opposite. For this month is not the place to prosper. The most skilled will see it coming but even then it will still show even further treachery.

The Romans seemed to dislike this time of year. It made them alert and paranoid. And with good reason. There's nothing muted about March unless you ignore it with all your willpower.. Outside, in the outdoors, is an ominous place in this month. Things fall. Clouds look menacing. Nothing pleasant to be seen here.

It stands on two slippery slopes across the valley between winter and spring. It likes its days short and its nights long and it threatens to kill the future. March has always done that. It's not a good customer. It's in a costume from the last masquerade that doesn't know the party ended. A very strange party that people left early from, because of some premonition about death. That's how March goes.
