It used to be about going out,
dressing up,
getting candy.
All houses decorated,
everyone excitedly running around
kids yelling “Trick or treat”
adults yelling “Boo!” to kids.
Now that’s over.
Just one more childhood memory
gone.

My friend and I had a really disappointing Halloween this past year. Where we went, there was barely anyone there.
