Trying Not to Barf at the Grape and Banana Candy

Co-written with Teresa. It was late.

6:07 pm
We met up with four other friends at the mall area. When we arrived we saw that Yogurtland was completely empty. We wondered what was wrong, and it turned out someone had robbed the bank next to it. I talked to a security guard, who was really nice. He said some guy in a mask had gone in and tried to rob the bank. He didn't know much since they dismissed him and let the police take care of it, but he did tell us that this was only his third week working on the job. He seemed agitated by the events that had occurred and was eager to go home.

6:40 pm
Later we headed towards the residential quarter and out of the mall area. On our way there, two of our friends encountered a really close-to-death experience. They were walking a couple feet ahead of us and were crossing the street when a car went by really fast and almost hit them. The driver didn't stop at the stop sign and my two friends weren't looking so they almost got hit. It was really scary but luckily we were all able to walk away from it.

We have this friend and she always wears the same costume every year. Every year it gets smaller, while she gets taller. She’s worn the same Belle dress every Halloween for eighty-four years. Look at her, scandalous, the neighbors talk about her.

7:22 pm
This kid, he’s probably like eight, he was walking to the door of some house to get candy. While we were walking out, he told my friend with the little Belle dress, “Hey, it’s Booty and the Beast.” But he was a small child and?? Why???

7:39 pm
We walked up the driveway of a house and it was dark and there was a very large and furry spider. It was a FAKE, as fake as my love for math, spider but it scared my friends in front of me, and they punched me in the face.

8:11 pm
Near the school that is being built next to Maddox Park, there was this group of guys, and they looked like they were in a gang. They were standing with a nice lady who told us not to be intimidated by the men. When Teresa was walking away, she could hear them whispering really loudly, “Ah, look at that girl with the baseball bat, she looks like she could mess someone up with it.” She says she was really flattered.

8:56 pm

I have these neighbors who ALWAYS, I don’t know why, but they like to park in front of my house even though they live five houses away. So when we walked up to their house I was very pleasantly surprised to see that they had left a bowl of candy in front of their house. It was full and it was late so we figured it’d be okay if we took all the candy since there didn't seem to be anyone else trick-or-treating. I really like Yorks, and I hadn't eaten one in eighty-four years. I took approximately seventeen Yorks, my bag got heavy. I think my neighbors redeemed themselves today.

She just wanted to eat her twix.

Grape tootsie pop, grape nerds, and BANANA laffy taffy. Disgusting
