Tip-toeing, slow and steady
Taking a timid step toward the front door
Her way lit by the Harvest Moon
Large and bright yellow
So radiant and luminescent
Haunting and magical
Spooky and captivating
Tip-toe, tip-toe
Slow and steady
Cool air, misty rain
Methodically making her way to the door
Knees trembling
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Quickly striking the brass door knocker
"Trick or Treat!" forming on her lips
Door squeaking open with a creak and a groan
Her eyes bulging with fear
Scanning the large figure standing before her
Freezing momentarily in a panic
Shadowy hands reaching from the door's entrance
Thawing from her frozen state
Terror rising
A piercing scream escaping the depths of her soul
Running! Running!
Away from the entrance
Out of the yard
Heart racing
Running! Running!
All the way to the safety of home
Never again returning to
the last house on the left on October Avenue
