An Open Letter to the Children of Our Town

You suck.

Where were all of you last night between 5:30 and 10:00? Taking shelter from sheets of stinging rain and bolts of lightning and howling wind? Fine, whatever. I just want to point out that when I was a kid, NO ONE cancelled trick-or-treating. Not God, not Satan, not even the whacko fundamentalist family down the street who passed out Bible verses and toothbrushes.


So now I have two heaping bowls of candy-- not the cheap nasty hard candies but the mini chocolate bars and Reese's peanut butter cups and Starburst-- that I now have to burn because no little witches or superheroes showed up to eat it any of it.
