This Is Halloween
It will be a late night for me tonight folks, as I churn out my English flash fiction (5 pages due at 9:30 tomorrow morning). I have a box of 130 mini chocolate bars (which miraculously my roommate Ryan hasn't eaten. It's sweet that he puts the children first.) It's 5:40pm and the trick-or-treaters haven't come out yet. I can't image them having a great time tonight. It's a "spooky" 4°C outside and drizzling.
Angela will be over soon to handle the candy distribution, as I will be in front of the computer all night in a "scary" mood.
Rick and Vanessa (our subletters) have left us a box full of old costumes they said we could wear. Inside the box I found:
- A gold sequin skirt.
- A "ninja" mask (even though ninjas are Japanese, the mask sports a Chinese yin-yang on the left cheek and a medieval dragon on the right).
- A bag full of straw hats.
- A velvet striped toga.
- A pair of suspenders.
Spooky, isn't it?! And like all the furniture they left us, everything in the box is encrusted with cat hair. I guess I could dress up as the "Sneezing Cross-cultural Ninja" and Ryan can be the "Roman God of Hats".
On second thought, why don't I just get this story written already...
