Halloween Memories
I was the youngest of four children, and it was safe when trick or treating. We had boundaries (and generally went further). There were a couple of apartment buildings, but it was mostly houses. We all knew where the best candy was. It was before crazy people put razor blades into candy or drugs or anything to cause harm.

THE HALLOWEEN BABY
Once upon a chilling Halloween night, in the quaint town of Willowbrook, the moon hung low in the inky sky, casting an eerie glow over the streets. The townsfolk had prepared for weeks, adorning their houses with ghoulish decorations, setting out bowls of candy for the trick-or-treaters, and donning costumes ranging from ghosts to goblins.

MOTHERHOOD BIRTHS A PURPOSEFUL LIFE
Growing up as a girl child, I never for once imagined how it would be to be a Mother I watched how my parents tried to give us the best they could and how they were willing to sacrifice their comfort for our sake. I saw my mom struggle to take of us even when she was sick and could barely do much and I still couldn't understand anything all I knew was that they were responsible for us and doing what they could to live up to their responsibilities but then again I asked my If She is really happy playing that role.

Niagara Falls has Frozen Over
Niagara Falls is the largest waterfall in the world. Not because of it’s height or width, but because of its volume. It’s extremely rare for a waterfall to have such a continuous stream: more than 6 million cubic feet of water go over the crest line of the falls every second during the day. The sheer size of the thing usually keeps it from freezing over, and that’s probably a good thing! The falls might be breathtaking for tourists, the eighth wonder of the world really, surrounded as it is by fun amusements and chocolate shops and casinos. Big boats. And hotel rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water.

Life’s a Drag. Content Warning.
The porch door was swinging, and she wasn’t getting up to shut it. The sun made her eyes ache and lit the skin like a match. Her body was flushed and puckered crimson while sweat pooled under armpits, leg and elbow ditches and beneath breasts. The grass had turned brown from being scorched from the Florida heat. There was no breeze and no chance of a rain storm, not even a light shower. Everyone had gone inside, the dog too, but she remained.
