What Is That?

#3 Halloween Happy: Current Obsession

Lee Morris -Worlds made in Midjourney

When my niece was about a year old, I would watch her in the backyard with my cats and my dog.

Sometimes she would point up into the branches of my oak tree, or on the roof of my house and she would laugh and laugh and laugh. My cats and my dogs would look up on the roof, or into the tree and sometimes my cats would climb the tree, or they would make their way to the roof and they they would pace around with their tails swishing, slowly from side to side.

My dogs would stay close to my niece and if I called to them they wouldn’t leave her side.

To this day I am  obsessed- what was it that she saw? What did my cats see, what did my dogs see- because they saw something.

I am sure of it.

Three Halloween Facts About Me

#3 Halloween Happy-Three Halloween Facts About Me

ONE

I have never dressed up as a monster for Halloween.

I have never been a Witch, or a Werewolf or a Vampire.

When you live with monsters in your head,  the way I do because I write about them it

narrows the costume field.

My favorite costume is my Flapper costume. I couple it with corpse makeup and then I

pop my dog into my Jeep and we drive to McDonalds  for burgers and  to wherever I

can get him his  pupcup.

He dresses up like a pirate. He’s infinitely cuter then me. I consider him my treat to

humanity.

TWO

I have gone to cemeteries on Halloween to leave flowers and toys for members

of my family- I also leave their favorite candies. It’s just something I like to do.

THREE

The question:

Have I ever seen a ghost on Halloween?

Well. Of course I have. Doesn’t everyone?

#2 Halloween Happy- Something Black

I haven’t been sad, I haven’t been distracted.

I did fall ill last week and all I have wanted to do is sleep and think about days where I

had oodles of energy.

My mood is dark and black.

In other words-

I’m on the mend and I think I am going to start writing up a Halloween storm!
