Halloween Ninety-Five
For my fourth story this month, I've decided to go with Halloween Ninety-Five. Like Lost and Found, it leans heavily on 90s nostalgia. I generally find nostalgia to be a cheap ploy to invoke an emotional response from your audience but it fits rather well with Halloween (and most other holidays), so it feels right here.
I was slightly older than the kids in the story, so my trick or treating days were behind me in 1995. However, I was still young enough to have that youthful sense of joy and wonder that the holiday brought for so many of us.
Now that I'm older, it's still my favorite holiday but it has a decidedly different feel. It isn't better or worse but it is different. And while we can't relive those glorious Halloween nights as adults, we still have our memories and stories like this to keep that spirit alive forever.
I hope you enjoy it. And may you always steer clear of hungry witches.
