Trick or treat! She heard for the hundredth time that night.

The woman threw the half-finished bottle of whiskey on the couch and shambled towards the entrance. She grabbed the candy bowl from the foyer and opened the door.

Little Edgar — who on that Halloween night had decided to dress up as a tall mirror — ended up receiving several stitches.
