Huffing loudly I turned away from the phone and made my way upstairs and to my room.

While the day passed I could probably prepare for what was to come later in the night.

I should probably get a costume? I never had participated in Halloween activities from what I could remember of my childhood.

In fact, I don't believe we did much for any holiday.

My eyes fell to the ground as I thought back as much as I could to my past.

...

I grew frustrated when nothing came to mind.

I shook my head slowly and ran my fingers through my hair, making my way to my dresser to check on my special mask.

That's when a bright idea popped into my mind.

If I could find an outfit that would suit the Halloween spirit, I could probably wear my mask along with it!

A grin quickly spread across my face as a burst of excitement washed over me.

I quickly set the mask down and hurried to Ms. Olif's room, I pushed the door open without any regard for the lazy elder that slept inside of the bedroom.

I pulled her closet open and flipped through her clothing, rolling my eyes as I ignored the many button up shirts that hung loosely inside the tiny closet.

My eyes roamed, searching desperately for something that would suit my mask.

I kneeled down, looking at the ground and flipping through boxes that gathered around the ground. Some boxes containing shoes, one of them being a pair of black flats.

I stared at them for a moment before grabbing the box and setting it by my side to continue my raid.

I pulled the lids off of each box, looking at the shoes that sat neatly inside, I came across outfits on occasion- but none of them really caught my interest.

I stood up and carried my new shoe box with me as I made my way to Olif's bed. I set the box on the mattress and lowered myself to the floor to peek under her bed. "I sure hope you have some secrets hidden in this room m'am!" I exclaimed, narrowing my eyes as I attempted to reach my arm under the bed to grab at a few boxes that were stationed beneath it.

Eventually, I could feel the tips of my fingers touching the edge of one of the boxes.

I grunted and shifted my body to slip my leg underneath the bed, the position being very uncomfortable.

"Come on..." I murmured to myself, my leg struggling to fit underneath the mattress. I placed the palms of my hands against the wooden floor and pushed myself back and towards the bed, forcing my leg to fit beneath it.

I let out a worn sigh and tilted my head to watch as my foot reached one of the boxes. "Yes!" I blurted in exasperation.

I shifted my foot to the side of the box and nudged it forwards a bit. It now sat closer to the edge of the bed, I could most likely reach in and pull it out now.

So I crawled forward and pulled my leg out from under the bed before flipping my body once again to reach my arm in.

My fingers touched the box and my palm grasped it, signaling that I could yank it towards me. I pulled the box out from under the bed and sat up to lean back against the dresser behind me.

I smiled softly, "Man... Really making me work for it, huh?" I joked, chuckling to myself before flipping the box over to read what was written on it.
