"Trick or treat!" they shouted as the door opened.
As she proffered the basket of sweet goodies, Mrs. Mulligan called out, "Byron, you must come see these wonderful Faery costumes." Scarcely had Mr. Mulligan risen from his chair than he heard Mrs. Mulligan exclaim, "Oh my!", as she watched our trio of flittering Faeries fly up and away into the moonlit night with the whole basket of goodies.

I loved this Jeff. You have a great imagination. And Halloween does seem magical at times, doesn't it? The last scene made me smile. All I could think of was Mrs. Kravitz from "Bewitched" and her "sick headaches" LOL Kat
