halloween (part 1)

“HALLOWEEN” The words were big and bold hanging on all the banners everywhere we go in the high school like vultures sitting there waiting upon us to drop dead and devour our souls. As I walked passed them, I gulped reminding myself to not to pay attention to this curse holiday. How can I possibly be so stupid that I needed to dress up in wacky outfits and walk around in the deep dark night to collect just a few pieces of candy? But that wasn’t anything compare to what kind of Halloween we had last year..

Knowing that something might happen, I still went to Trick or treating with my friends though I always seem to think that something about this holiday wasn’t right. It felt like this every year, that something on our block was watching us and waiting for us to reach it in the dark depths of the night as the street lights flickered signaling our approach. I looked into my mirror reassuring my self nothing will happen like the years before, but I was wrong.That very night was just horrifying and deadly.
