Here is my latest short that I came up with quite quickly, just for fun.

Ah! Halloween! My favourite time of the year! Joyful children dressed in costumes, running around and screaming at the decorations; accepting candy from whomever is willing to hand it out, and stuffing their precocious little faces with it. Oh! It's so much fun to watch the cute little buggers eyes glow with delight when they receive a treat and anticipate shoving it into their pig-like mouths. Ah, yes, the way the lovely little brats pretend their costume is scary, roaring at you with their high-pitched, nasal voices. The way rich and spoiled children show off, and act like they're better, leaving the children with genuinely thought out, and hand made costumes feel like second class citizens. I love all of it!

Oh, yes, the night when all of your frights and worries feel justified, how your child, taking candy from strangers is completely at their mercy? You know all the people in the neighborhood, they are all good people...

and yet, you still can't help but feel a twinge of fear when your 3-year-old, clad in a dragon costume you bought just for him walks up to the house with me, the man who just moved in, and gleefully shouts out "twick ow tweat!"

Of course I've got candy for the fucker, I just haven't bagged it yet.

Let's see, I've got the twizzlers, the gummies, and the 'eyeballs', but...

Crap! Where'd I put the arsenic?
