Twas\u2019 the night before, wait Christmas?\u00a0 It\u2019s not Christmas yet, however the department stores seem to think it is.\u00a0 That\u2019s almost a nightmare in itself.\u00a0 Anyways, it was Halloween night awhile ago when my peers and I would don our costumes and go around the neighborhood knocking on doors greeting people with the phrase trick-or-treat.\u00a0 We never got a trick usually just a treat.<\/p>\n
The people always seemed friendly and were glad to give us the candy our hearts desired.\u00a0 We never skipped a house as we tried to get as much candy as we could.\u00a0 One year we came to a white house with several red vehicles in the driveway.\u00a0 There was no jack-o-lanterns on the front step and the whole house was dark.\u00a0 My friends and I didn\u2019t think anything of it.<\/p>\n
The instant I rang the doorbell and prepared myself to yell trick-or-treat a monster came crashing into the front window of the house with a force that it sounded like the window would break that very second, unleashing the beast it contained.\u00a0 My friends and I scattered across the front lawn like when a bag of candy is opened and explodes its contents across the floor.\u00a0 The house owner opened the door as we ran, and the beast escaped chasing us down the street.<\/p>\n
We narrowly escaped the white and brown monster that year; it is a vision that pains me to see even to this day.\u00a0 Our greedy candy addiction got the best of us that year.\u00a0 My friends and I now know why that house had no jack-o-lanterns out front, and we skipped that house on the Halloweens that followed as not to disturb the monster that lurked within.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
