friday, october 31, 1997 was shaping up to be a pretty perfect halloween. you agonized for weeks over your costume and now you finally got to wear it to class. show-stopper.
today just so happened to also be book fair day- you Blithely left school clutching your ghost shaped erasers and spooky new chapter books (the ones that give you goosebumps).
it’s 4:45 pm and the fallen leaves are getting soggy in the evening rain. the streetlights are starting to come on, helping you narrowly avoid puddles on the sidewalk. the neighbors are willing their bonfires to stay lit and your plastic pumpkin shaped trick-or-treat bucket begins to overflow.
you stuff an empty wrapper back into the hoard- you needed some fuel to keep the night going. later, you’ll swap fun-size sweets and watch a show that asks if you’re afraid of the dark? while you wonder if you are the only kid in the whole wide world that actually enjoys candy corn.
“these are days you’ll remember.
Never before and never since, I promise,
Will the whole world be warm as this.”
