The mock fantasy football draft -- a practice draft -- was finally, mercifully over, the insulting back-and-forth finally finished, plumes of smoke billowing from the guns of their mutual hatred. But Gary had said something late in that fake draft that Pete could not forget: he had insulted Pete's hair, the very pride of his life, the reason for waking. As if his feet had decided for him, Pete was out of bed, dressed, and walking the seven miles to Gary's house, where Gary's wife would soon be snuggling a bloody corpse with a frozen look of absolute horror.

My face within inches of the broken mirror, I stroked my dead, gray skin and was grateful that, for however long I’d wander the earth in this post-life state, I wouldn’t have to shave. And my hair — my hair was intact.

Halloween, in Russellville, was every day, all day, a celebration that never ceased, never ebbed, because it was on Halloween two hundred and eighty-eight years ago that the patriots on the horseshoe-shaped island floating off Maryland's coast had vanquished the unholy monsters of Samhain, the traitors to their people. The last day of October consumed every day, from schoolchildren's curriculum to the day's restaurant specials to the governing decisions of the town's mayor and council; Halloween slithered into everything, becoming not just a way of life, but life itself, an all-encompassing institution that hovered above and below, side to side, everywhere always. And like any place where one idea reigns over all others, there were rebels in the midst of Russellville’s October 31 fixation, and they were ready – finally ready – to bring chaos to the town’s tidy lives of Halloween worship.

Definitely a contender for the longest 3 sentence story on Miniature Fiction...
