WP asks: The genie grants you a wish. What is it?

If I could have one wish granted, my wish would be that Halloween could be a place you could visit instead of it just being a state of mind or a holiday that shows up at the end of the year and is gone like a puff of smoke in one night.

My wish would be that Halloween would be a town where the world is painted in shades of orange and red and yellow.

Every night frost would decorate the trees and plants and flower and window panes.

The air would always be cool, it would smell like freshly baked gingerbread and apples and when the sun came up, it would shine gently and when it set the Moonlight and starlight would burst across the sky like fire taking to old dry wood.

Black cats and black dogs could sit on porch steps next to rocking chairs and next to tombstones and crypts and shut their eyes with blissful expressions on their faces, even when a stranger walks by.

If Halloween were a place, a place where you could have a house and go to work and school and have little herb garden growing in your backyard, you could wear whatever costume you wanted and nobody would ever  think or dare to  say to anybody, ” maybe people would like you more if you were just like everybody else. ”
