I read this before and enjoyed the twist at the end. I am sorry you don't get a chance to celebrate Halloween. Maybe you could single handedly start to get everyone hooked. My best friend and I do an elaborate cemetery scene in her front yard then I dress as a witch and stir a smoking cauldron. My godson and his friends dress as monsters and chase the kids through the yard. Its fun and we have about 300 kids who stop for candy. Lyn B.
