I just helped Mary-Allen get in the jeep with her boyfriend Joseph. It looks like she's moving, with all the decorations for tonight's party. Picking up my bag, I hurry to get to my last class of the day. Then I need to get my costume before I leave for my aunts house.
I arrive just a little before two and I see that the costume that I ordered is all ready packed for me. It is the perfect size and I adore the material. I pay the lady behind the counter and head south towards my aunts.
Mom died when I was three. Aunt Celia is her only sister and my only living relative. Dad had no one back in Ireland, so it was only the two of us till I was fourteen.
We visited every Christmas holidays. So, when dad died I was with aunt Celia. Xmas shopping for dad. Killed in a animal attack. After that, I stayed away from the surrounding woods. From dusk till dawn. Tonight I will venture in, with my car. Just me, my car and my taser.
"Don't go..."
I roll my eyes at my aunt.
"Why?"
"It's not save."
"It's been years. There has not been a wild animal sighting for just as long."
"Please...."
"No. I'm done being afraid. I'm going with my car and my taser. I will be fine. I will call you when I get there."
"Ok. I know when I lose. But, you do see the irony of what you are wearing, don't you?"
I look down at my costume and I really do have to smile. Little Red Riding hood going into the woods....
Mary-Allen, this is one costume that I think you would approve.
