Monsters

by Kaete

      It’s October 31st, the same day they always come to my house, except it’s not when the sun’s up. It’s at night when the moon is no longer a satellite but an ominous eye sent to watch me. Every year on exactly the same date, terrible monsters would come to my house demanding for candy. They’d even bring their human slaves with them. This year, however, I devised a plan to rid the world of those monsters and free their slaves. I had poisoned the candy the monsters seem so interested in.
      A few days later, several police officers came to my house and arrested me. It turns out they weren’t monsters but actually children and their parents. Damn, I bet I look stupid.
