This image transports me to a Harry Potter-style London alley, with its fog and the people in it.
I also see the pumpkins decorated in halloween style and a bookshop, possibly esoteric, so I have written a story in which I combine these elements of magic, bookshop and halloween.
The London fog swirled thickly that Halloween night.
The streets are crowded with passers-by, including a few costumed children scurrying about in the dim lights of the street lamps.
He walks towards the old bookshop he has owned for years.
His shop is in a dark passageway, like something out of a Victorian mystery novel.
Fog snakes through the alleyways, lending an ominous air to the surroundings.
As you turn the corner, you stop dead in your tracks. The door of the bookshop is open and a dim light filters in from inside.
He holds his breath as spectral shadows move across the shelves.
Summoning up his courage, he enters and sees several books flying and spinning around the room, as if moved by an invisible force.
In the centre, a long-bearded old man holds a book open, muttering strange incantations in an arcane language.
-Halt! Who are you and what are you doing here? -he shouts at him.
The old man raises his amber eyes to him with an impenetrable stare.
-I am a wizard and tonight I have come to take you to a world where magic is real. Do you dare to join me?
He swallows. That promise is too tempting to pass up.
