The light of their candles
My friends hooted.
The next night was Halloween, the scene hella
nike heels cool. The coffin sat on a pyre in the middle of the parlor. Inside, Shannie played the part of a dead princess. Dressed in black and painted the color of driven snow, her golden hair rested upon her chest. Four Candelabras stood guard behind
nike high heels the casket. The light of their candles flickered through the fog. Spider webs entombed the giant bookcase, obstructing the view Poe, Hawthorne, and King enjoyed from Diane's shelves. Three cauldrons rested at the foot of the pyre beckoning trick-or-treaters.
Along the front wall of the
nike dunk heels parlor Diane sat at the organ. Two Candelabras rested atop the organ, their light illuminating blonde hair dancing over a black cape. When the doorbell rang she belted out her rendition of The Fugue.
Dressed in a black tuxedo, his face painted gray, Count played
nike dunk heels Lurch. While hiding in fog, he opened the front door. As our visitors gained the threshold, he would jump at them, terrorizing the unsuspecting. Mounting the stairs, he would turn and gesture with an extended arm. "Follow me." In the living room he motioned
nike high heels for the Trick or Treaters to approach the pyre.
Everyone focused on Shannie in her coffin, maybe waiting for her to lunge, or maybe just captivated by her appearance. I waited under the pyre. As 'mourners' viewed the coffin, Count gestured to the cauldrons directing
jordan high heels them to select their treat. Whatever their reason, no one expected my ambush as they reached for their treat. Some screamed, some retreated, some laughed. One kid had an accident.
