    • Oh my!
      I’ll not be knock on your door next Halloween.
      Maybe Christmas?

      • Don’t worry, in reality I handed out candy last night. But who knows which beast slumbers deep inside me! 😂 thank you for reading and commenting, my friend!

    • This is a wicked write Elke. The detail and marvelous imagery you create is executed wonderfully. Hope your Halloween was filled with magic, scares and happiness.

      • I’m really no big fan of horror movies and stories but I couldn’t resist trying my hand at this genre. You are my role model! Thank you very much for reading and writing your kínd comment, dear Keith!

    • I hear the knocking, but it can’t come in.

      • Come in, dear Adagio, there are some sweets left over. If you dare… 🤣
        Thanks a lot for reading and commenting!

    • Shreek, eeeke, eat my little furies!! BOOO!
      Men, far too many, and their deranged minds, know no end when it comes to torturing women.
      Happy Halloween….er….DO NOT ENTER, BEWARE!!
      Thanks Sappho, we be shakin’

      • Thank you very much for reading and commenting, my friend!
        How I wished these slaughters in the name of God had used their creativity on more meaningful and helpful projects than on satisfying their misogyny and there lust for power!

    • Wickedly penned, Elke. Excellent Halloween write my friend. Appreciate you.
