It's only once every several years that a raucous event such as Halloween falls on a Friday night, which seems to have gained a reputation for being the most raucous of all the nights of the week. As loud as the sound of squealing tires and yelling voices might normally be, it can only be expected to be louder tonight. That's fine. Large steel plates and loose gravel in the middle of the road don't help, though.

Halloween seems to be one of those days that either garners tons of interest or tons of apathy. This particular house is clearly in the practice of handing out apathy to anyone that happens upon the doorstep. Thankfully it has been a quiet night without any looks of expectation, destined to go unfulfilled. Again, that's fine. It's one of those times where nobody is trying to stretch out the night, because the sooner the night ends, the sooner tomorrow begins.

There isn't any real horror to Halloween. All the masks, costumes and fake identities that sometimes only serve as cruel reminders of what kind of people lie beneath on the other 364 days of the year. Halloween allows for people to not be themselves and intentionally mislead others, but it's encouraged, so that's fun. Maybe?

Presently, the best thing to be on Halloween is asleep.
