Trick or Treat? by Lugnutz

[Camy]

Really, this tale needs to nest in 'Drawn from Life', because it is. And be warned: if you're close to tiptoeing in the vicinity of middle age then read with extreme caution.

It's poignant, uncomfortable, and very good indeed.

Poignant was the word I thought of too, Camy. Short but sweet, that's what this was. Perhaps Lug could reflect more on his life. This was very good.

Lug's story is a true trip though time. A lot of the Halloween treats we kids used to get were homemade things, like brownies and cupcakes and candied apples. Bought candy was rare, and usually of the gobstopper variety. Today everything has to be sanitized and securely wrapped. Parents lurk on the sidewalks to make sure no one slips their kid a razor blade. Gah.

In time perhaps I'll screw another tale together.

I showed this to some family today. My oldest nephew really liked it as well as my youngest brother. My aunt on the other hand liked it so much and remembered what I wrote about she started crying. Wants to read all of what I have here after seeing the links to the other stories.

I need inspiration to put other gripping stories together, this one hit a nerve with many people.
