What have you been working on?

Halloween begins for me in July with excitement  and joy.

 Inspired by Halloween stories fall into my lap one by one every day.

But this year, I’m sad to report I found the Halloween Spirit late in the season.

It wasn’t hiding from me. It was all around me the entire time, wailing like a hungry cat asking to be fed.

I was distracted, and I am very worried about the upcoming  presidential election and what its results will bring into the world.

The anxiety this has caused  meant I couldn’t hear the howling werewolves, I couldn’t hear the cackling witches, I couldn’t hear any of my Halloween visitors knocking on my door.

So in fear I may never feel inclined to celebrate anything again except getting through the day because a piece of human wreckage and his cult were put in  charge, I am celebrating Halloween. I answered the knock upon my door.

But unlike other times, it’s been with sadness.
