It was a dark night. And usually, the route I take on my way back home from work is silent and deserted. But tonight was different, it was Halloween. There was a buzz in the air. Around me there was the scamper of little feet, of vampires and ghosts, of bunnies and cats and princesses and knights. The buzz was the sound of children, out on the streets, looking totally adorable and scampering around tricking and treating. And there were adults out there too.
That night, it seemed as if Pied Piper had had a change of heart and brought the children back to their homes and the sound and sights of those young years was in the air again.
*sigh*
