Ghouls & mummies littered the sidewalk, eagerly digging in their trick or treat bags, as I strolled the neighborhood sidewalks.
I heard a party as I neared the brightly lit rear rooms of this house. A couple was dancing to the 🎶Monster Mash🎶 as a crowd gathered at the groaning board for a feast.

The moon was elusive as I strolled the neighborhood sidewalks, but the warmly lit house beckoned trick or treaters into its cozy interior. The front door was left ajar; the room to the right held a host of special goodies for the trick or treaters.
