My Neighbors Halloween Decoration
My neighbors must really like Halloween
Their skeleton was so realistic that I had to scream
It was the perfect shade of the bones
Like the color you’d find on off white stones
With the perfect shape
Perfect like Superman with his cape
But why position them so suspiciously
They feel so eerily
Something this real is probably so hard to aquire
It’s starting to look like the corps in last weeks fir...
Le Jardin du Crâne
Joe has his regular Halloween decorations up. I always love his lights, the way they shine off his little pond. He added a new feature this year which is kind of cool, a whole slew of skeletons, all dressed up differently. It is so creative. I know he’s visiting his sister, I bet he wouldn’t mind if I took a little tour.
I walk through his garden gate, through all the kid-friendly stuff, Mickey ...

Where Did They Go?

It’s big news here if the garbage doesn’t get picked up on time, or if someone’s cat gets out. Last month one of our neighbors decided their...
Dead Or Alive?
The candlelight ignites a golden aura around the dark living room. I’m currently sitting on the warmth of my armchair, the television crackling In front of me as the rain poured down outside. My cat was curled on my lap, purring softly.
I look up as I hear a scream, and then silence. My head starts throbbing, telling me something is wrong. Even my cats fur has spiked up. She is hissing at the win...
Nightmare Neighbour
Typically, I don’t like to consider myself someone who is too quick to judge and make assumptions without getting to know a person first. Ever since me and my partner moved in, somethings always bothered me about our neighbour next door.

Mr. And Mrs. Ton.
About a month and a half before Halloween we got a new neighbor. The woman is straight out of the 50’s housewife shows and the man is strange and his jokes are only funny to him. They have no children and no pets, well except for the raccoon that is always coming from their yard to get our garbage.
Halloween is a big thing in our town. There is a decorating competition and the winner gets gift c...
