Angie was hitting every house this year. It was Halloween again, the neighborhood she lived in was a pretty large, no one had ever achieved hitting up every house. Of course there were those who did not celebrate, however, a majority of the houses did.
Angie was so determined with her goal, she had walked away from her group. She was making great time. So many houses had been visited. On the corner there was a giant mansion. It was huge and elegant looking, painted ivory white, bushes cut into designs, and a fountain in front.
It was magnificent. Angie looked around to discover she was alone. No one was going to this manor. Angie had never recalled seeing this residence before; even if she wasn’t too close to her own house, this place would have stuck out and been talked about it.
Of course, there was no doubt. Angie was going to knock on this door. Walking up the slick drive way Angie walked up the large steps to the iron front door. Confused at first, the doorbell was a rope of sorts to pull down. An actual bell rang. The giant door opened slowly. A man in a top hat and monocle appeared.
“Why hello, little one,” he greeted, “What are you tonight?”
“Um, a fairy,” replied Angie feeling unsure about the whole situation.
“I’ll cut the small talk and just give you some candy.”
The man gave Angie several full size candy bars. Angie watched amazed. She cried, “Thank you so much!”
“Oh, it’s only Halloween once a year!”
Angie thanked the man again and wandered back to the street. Her friends walked up. One asked, “Where have you been?”
“Oh, I walked further ahead,” Angie explained, “Hey, I just went to the mansion over there. The guy gave me a bunch of full size candy bars!!”
“The one on the corner…” Angie looked around to see just a run down boarded up home. She was distraught. She got the candy bars out of her bags. Her friend saw them and asked, “What type of candy are those? I’ve never seen heard of them. I don’t think that make them anymore.”
It was all too weird. Angie did not know what to think. She continued on her mission knowing that was going to be the best house of them all.
