Thursday, October 31, 1985

“Waitin’ on the trick-or-treaters.” Jack chuckled, taking another swig of his warm

Ennis stomped across the porch, autumn leaves
crackling beneath his angry boots. “Aint we s’posed to be givin’ ‘em candy or somethin’?”

“Can I scare the next one that comes by?” Ennis hunkered down next to Jack.
“Sure. You’re scary enough without even tryin.’ ”
“Keep that up, you aint gonna get no treat tonight.”
Jack snorted.
