7:30 P.M. Wednesday, October 31st 2018 |

I'm sitting at home alone in my room. It gets hot so I have both of my windows open. I hear the children outside running up to my neighbours' doors for some candy. The lights are off outside to let the kids know no one is home.

I remember walking wagons around the neighbourhood with pillow cases full of candy. Choosing my costume a month in advance, only to have it ruined because I had to wear 3 layers of warmth underneath lest I freeze to death. I didn't even prepare a costume this year. My aunt and sister used to walk us around the neighbourhood so my parents could give candy out at home. Being nervous to talk to complete strangers. Used to stay out until 9:30-10 P.M. on school nights; you never knew days could be this long. Now, most of my days don't even begin until 11.

It used to be simpler. My moms is away on business, and my pop is at an AA meeting. My little brother is in university 3 hours away. Both of my older sisters have moved out. It's just me and the dogs.

All this was brought on by the sound of children's winter boots running up my neighbour's driveway. Bummer.

Yeah, but have you seen what these guys did to their office?

the nineties were so much better....

we had trick or treating, combos, nickelodeon, reese's puffs, ice cream, mcdonalds, cartoon network, green day

we had green day

What do kids today have? Nothing.

Heh, you going somewhere, pal?
