HiveDiscoMod Curation Compilation #50

I introduced the Hive community to Eli a when my granddaughter was throwing a party in the basement. I was babysitting for Eli upstairs, in my office.

A silent and calm night is sheltered by the blanket of a thick fog, a mysterious curtain that only in the distance allows to see the silhouette of a strange character of whom many have heard and few have been able to see.
