A hike up to Scott Tower. Completed in 1942, this 54 foot tall structure was built as part of "Anniversary Park," created in 1923 to honor the 50 year anniversary of the town of Holyoke. The park is now permanently closed and abandoned. It's a 1 mile walk to the summit of Craft Hill where the tower sits. There is a staircase that leads up to the top where you can enjoy views of the surrounding area. There are also many overgrown trails and staircases that lead up the hill but I wouldn't recommend taking them. Because there are also warnings everywhere about ticks which are becoming a very serious problem currently due to the effects of climate change.

Melaco Town Pt. I - Natural + Main Areas

MELACO TOWN - MAIN AREA A small, semi-rural town nestled between several large, dense forests and shielded by misty black mountains to its far north. Train tracks run through it, and a freight train runs daily, sometimes at strange late hours.

Melaco Town is an eerie, odd place that becomes darker the deeper one looks at it. It feels quaint, old-fashioned and often abandoned by daylight, but lit up in fluorescent colours, seedy and sinister by night. Many of its citizens are nocturnal and very eccentric, and seem to be hiding dark, unthinkable secrets that they will likely take to their graves.

The weather in Melaco is inconsistent, but always windy and the air bears a chill even in summer. The local soil is of note, being extremely rich, oily and black and sprouting rare flowers that appear nowhere else in the world. Despite its unsettling qualities, the vast stretches of trees and nature around Melaco Town can be quite breathtaking to find oneself in. This quietness and magical aura was part of what drew Alexia and her brother to settle there.

WOODWARD FIELD A huge, grassy, hilly meadow that stretches across eastern Melaco Town to the foothills of the dark mountains surrounding its north side. There are sparse houses, but little else in the field - save for two unusual landmarks.

One is an archway that seems to have once been the gate to something, inscribed with the text "To the land of tomorrow for two - if one again breaks my heart to pieces". Its origin is unknown, but it seems old, is carved of stone and marble, and seems to have once been painted in garish shades of pink, violet, gold and blue.

The second landmark is a marsh spring with deep green water, surrounded by drooping willow trees. Several decayed, moss-laden stone totems jut up from the water. The spring is the haunting ground of two sister nature gods - Tar-Rokka of the Swamp and Tir-Ranna of the Storm.

THE FOREST OF VEILS A mysterious patch of deep woods located a short walk behind St. Martin Street, beyond the train tracks. The trees here have black bark and silver-white leaves and blossoms. The forest floor is also covered with silvery grass and flowers, and no other colour of flora will bloom there.

The forest gets its name from the pearlescent veils and strings of jewels strung up like spiderwebs between the trees - this is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Its treetops are extremely dense, allowing little sunlight in, yet it remains fairly well-lit due to the shimmering plantlife. The forest's sole inhabitant is an ageless, ancient child-eating witch named Wysteria, but there are hints that there was once a native group of beings there - whom Wysteria likely ran off, killed, or ate the last of long ago.

THE DAWNLIGHT BLUSTERS An extremely windy, forested patch of hills on the eastern edge of the town that seem to be perpetually stuck in autumn, painted year-round in bright greens, gold and red. It is a wondrous, beautiful place with an aura of childhood adventure, yet can become quite lonely and wistful, with few houses or people around.

The deepest groves of the Blusters also harbor a sinister place - Jane's Hours Estate - a supposedly cursed Edwardian-era manor that belonged most recently to the Rondo family, all of whom but the youngest member, Robin, met a tragic end there.

Robin Rondo still resides in the Blusters, in a fort of his own design, in the woods on the farthest edge of the Estate. Robin's fort is constructed of wood, scrap metal, bright colourful quilts and miscellaneous "junk", and is surrounded by pinwheels and childlike novelty objects of all kinds.

ABANDONED PARK The abandoned park lies concealed by tall tangles of grass and densely-woven, overgrown trees in a field between Julian's backyard on St. Martin Street and the small barrier of forest behind Goodnight Plaza.

All that remains of the actual "park" are rusted, unusable skeletons of playground equipment and a canopy laced with tiny baby roses. Outwardly, there is nothing special about this area, but upon entering, one can sense a "living force" there, like a massive heart slowly beating just beneath the soil.

Hidden deeply in a thick grove within the park is a disturbing monument of soft, oily scarlet stone that feels like candle wax to the touch. It is made up of a square door in the ground guarded by a statue of a man screaming in great agony, thick blood streaming from his eyes and mouth. Beneath it is the pathway to the Court of Indigo (the Depthless Stair). The monument itself, while worn by time, still serves as a seal to keep the Indigo under their curse - a curse set by a warlock which entails they will die in their natural forms if they touch either sun or moonlight.

One From the Clocks uses this path to stalk the above world for victims to use in his and Kanabiel's experiments (or for cruel pleasure), since he is still part-human and the curse does not affect him.

My favorite thing about this week's episode of pjo is the epic boss battle music playing in the background when Percy was driving the car. The way the music makes it so a 12 year old driving a car and crashing into things has the same sense of danger as a fight scene, the triumphant music when Percy manages to make a turn without crashing, the way the music stopped the moment Percy ran into the wall. An excellent choice

Clark used to visit Amity Park since his ma distant cousin lived there with her husband and two kids. By emacrow/creator

Jazz and Danny were the highlight of his time over there seeing them grow, before His time as a Hero took most of his time for 4 years, saving the world on multiple occasions, becoming part of the Justice league team, before he could take another visit to amity park.

Driving in the car with lois to tell the kids about him being Superman and an alien since Maddie wanted him to surprise danny for his graduation a few years back.

Only he felt nervous, because he was not hearing her heartbeat..

Or anyone else in the matter of driving closer to the town. Clark pressed the drive harder, not caring at the moment if he got a ticket later. Something had gone wrong, terribly wrong.

By the time they have drove near the beginning line of Amity Park.. the welcome sign was half way destroyed. Clark's heart sank harder then a stone in water as he stared at the town..

Town that surrounded with barbed steel wall with electricity defense, Do not cross, BioHazard, Radiation Hazard, Danger keep out tape all over a steel door that looked old, bented with claw marks, gun shots marks and dried green splatter gunk.

Clark got out of the car so fast that Flash would've been impressed, as Lois calls out to him, but he wasn't listening as he flew over going through the town.

Not a single soul or heartbeat in sight and hearing, beside torn apart homes, buildings, dead bodies in people in white suits, more glowing Green goo that covered most of the places, ground and trees..

He was too panic to notice the glowing eyes and static noises peering out the windows of the homes and in the torn buildings.

He wants to scream and cry before he heard it.

A distant, very slow heartbeat, as Clark flew over straight towards it. The street was becoming familiar as he flew closer. This was the route to Maddie's house.

Her house was the worst of them all, the very house barely standing up if it weren't for the broken building on the left being the only support.

Clark nearly ripped open the front door to enter only to froze in place as the sight before him shook him to the very core.

It looks as if a massacre had happened with dead bodies of people in white suits and masks piled the place.

His instinct took over, grabbing a bat about to swing at his face, for him to turn and see a familiar face holding a glowing bat covered in spikes stared at him.

"Uncle Clark?" Jazz spoke, Sounded hoarse and cracked, her left eye had a burnt scar over as she was wearing one of those fenton suits with a baby sling on with a sleeping little boy with white hair and green eyes, a giant crown lay on his neck in the baby sling.

"Clark could fly?" A small girl that look too similar to Danny spoke behind Jazzy.
