Halloween
Horrors ©

There was a
knock at the door at 9.30pm, while we were watching the Blacklist. Its
Halloween tonight and it’s so dark outside now that the clocks have gone
backwards for the winter. So just for fun I sneaked to our front door and screamed
“DEVIL” and went away laughing, back to the Blacklist on TV.
Only the
knocking returned but I ignored it. Our next door neighbour had but up a
welcoming Halloween balloon, so that could have attracted trick or
treaters. My girls had a look out the
window and think they saw a man with a parcel getting into a van. I was only
told this after the van drove off.
I am waiting
for a parcel, so was the trick on me. When roused from the Blacklist I saw the
van stop at the end of our street and a man get out and have a fag. Smoking to
steady his nerves perhaps. Parcel delivery drivers don’t deliver at 9.30pm in
the dark on Halloween do they? A parcel man would stick a note through my door.
Not unless he was a witch or warlock moonlighting.
I finished
watching the Blacklist then I decided to have my own Halloween prank. I drew an
evil face on my next door neighbour’s balloon. She did say she was going to be
a witch in the woods tonight, so I wonder will the face on the balloon scare
her.
If you hear
a blood curdling scream in the middle of the night, it must be my next door
neighbour.
