Max Banks sat in front of his television, smoking and drinking a beer. He stared at the screen but all he saw in his mind was the man going into Bunny’s house earlier that evening.

When Max drove over there after work, he had been surprised to see another car turn into the drive ahead of him. Banks had pulled over to the curb down the block and Bunny hadn’t noticed him when she answered the door. He sat in the car for more than 15 minutes, waiting for her visitor to leave. When no one came out of the bungalow Max got fed up and drove away. Who was that guy and what the hell was he doing with Bunny?

At that moment, his doorbell rang. Banks reluctantly hauled himself out of his chair and went to the door.

When he jerked it open, there was a small cluster of miniature ghosts and goblins mumbling “trick-r-treat” and thrusting grocery bags and pillowcases towards him.

“Oh crap, I forgot! Tonight’s Halloween and I’ve got no candy,” Max moaned to himself.

Looking over the heads of the motley throng at his feet, he could see that, in spite of the recent killings, the streets were crawling with Trick-or-Treaters and their parents.

He reached into his pockets, grabbed a handful of change and divided it up among the little beggars before him, then quickly shut the door and switched off the porch light.

Grabbing his keys, he slipped out to his carport, started his car, and, once the way was clear, backed out into the street. He drove cautiously until he was away from the pedestrian traffic.

Max considered driving to a convenience store for candy to hand out, but the thought of hopping up and down all night answering the doorbell discouraged him.

He soon found himself pulling into the now empty driveway of Bunny’s place.

He sat in the car a moment, wondering if he should have called, first. He was pleased to see that this neighborhood wasn’t attracting much attention from the tiny extortionists, at least so far.
