Halloween... trick or treat... ghost and goblins... empty street.
The weather was perfect... calm... 60. The porch lights were on. The bowls of candy ready. The children were absent.
Maybe all of the children have grown up and there are none to take there place. Neighborhoods do grow older before they get younger again. But it was quite a disappointment. Less than 2 dozen children... and at least half of them were teenagers... showed up to beg for their once-a-year treats.
Maybe it's our society. Too much fear. Maybe holidays have lost their appeal. Too commercial. Whatever the reason, the children were absent.
Not much of a Halloween.
