Great story, beautifully presented! The world is weird when you’re a kid, especially at that awkward age. Grown ups are strange creatures and not infrequently frightening. Your story captured that perfectly.
Thanks, Liz! Very glad it struck a chord with you. The world is always weird, I think, and kids just happen to notice it more often than we do––or at least it seems that way to me. Again, thank you.
Thanks, Lyndsey! You're right––adults don't make sense a lot of the time. It's just that sometimes they're a little scarier when they're (not) doing it. ;-)

Really enjoyed your story, David. It reminded me of a Halloween of my own as a teen, where I was the the creepy one.
Thanks, Bernie! Glad you enjoyed it, and that it resonated with your own Halloween's-past.
Nice performance :) I remembered so much of this story because its details felt so *right*-- but all amplified by your reading :)
Thanks, James! I know you've often tasted that same autumnal air yourself. ;-)
Excellent story, excellent performance.
Thank you, Lynn. Much appreciated.
Disturbing, David! It's always scary when adults don't make sense.
