*TRICK OR TREAT?*

Three Trick or Treaters gathered at the top of the steps. Lights off meant "No Candy", but the fluorescent Halloween decorations covering the roof and door told an entirely different story.

Looking towards each other and smiling the kids knocked on the door heavily.

"Trick or Treat!"

They said it without much concern for the person inside, all they wanted was candy.

"Trick or Treat!"

They yelled again, getting no response.

"Trick or Treat!"

The third time the door opened, it was dark inside.

The children starting to move forward but then signs of life, a man comes out of the darkness; he stumbles forward almost landing on the children.

"Trick or what?"

He says irritated and confused. He then looks down towards their candy containers as drool slips down his chin and to the floor his eyes swollen red.

The children look at him uncomfortable.

"One secconddd"

The man says as he turns around and heads back into the darkness.

He eventually comes back out holding a bunch of candy, putting it into each of their containers before they have a chance to refuse.

"Enjjjoyyy"

He says looking worse for wear. They are about to turn around when the man projectile vomits all over them before proceeding to collapse onto the ground in front of them.

I do not own the picture used only the writing of the story l
