It is time. The great deities of pumpkin spice rise again. The Spicening is upon us.

A cream-colored mug with the word "Shenandoah" and a picture of a bear on it sit on a blue mug warmer on a wooden desk. The mug is filled with a homemade pumpkin spice latte and topped with an awful lot of cinnamon. A carousel pen holder is in the background.

A grocery cart in a grocery store. There is pink tape on its push handle, and brown cardboard boxes can be seen inside the cart. Hanging off of the push handle is a yellow sign that reads "Backroom"

The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.

An orange cat sits on top of a cardboard box, keeping the box's flaps closed. Through a small slot in one of the flaps, the face of a second orange cat can be seen. The first orange cat has entered her villain era.
