It’s time for me to go. Halloween is almost over. The sky is starting to change from black to gray, and soon the sun will be on the horizon.
Officer Grumpy is still at the front door and says gruffly, “You can’t go out there like that.”
He grabs at my arm and misses.
“What the hell!?!” he yells as I go through the door.
He swings the door all the way open and stands in the open doorway. “You come back in here, young lady!” he yells at me.
I turn at the end of the sidewalk and blow him a kiss.
The expression of surprise on his face tells me that the sun has come up and I am no longer visible. I sigh and start walking down the sidewalk. My feet no longer make any noise as I walk. I probably shouldn’t have told Freddy that I would be their Halloween whore again next year, but I have to make the best of it. Halloween’s the only time I’m visible, and what’s a girl to do?
