Those Poor Kids (Day 6: Flash In The Dark Halloween Edition)

They looked maybe eight. The boy wore a TMNT costume, the girl, a princess dress. But the girl behind them- she wore an expressionless mask. The two took their candy and left, but she stayed. 

Her head tilted to the right and she surveyed me for a second, but then she took off the mask.

I don't know what she was, but she looked like a decaying corpse risen from the grave. Eyes pure black with malice, she gave me a smile, put the mask back on, ran off, and- 

What she did next was awful. Those poor kids.
