#HALLOWEEN: IT BEGINS

"Autumn.
It's crispness, it's anticipation, it's melancholia, it's cool breezes replacing summer's heat.
It's long days in the field, a harvest festival when work's done, a cheering crowd in a football stadium, chrysanthemums punctuating a somber landscape.
It's Halloween high-jinx, pumpkins grinning toothy smiles, the crack of pecan pressed against pecan.
It's the first curls of woodsmoke, fresh blisters from pushing a rake.
It's crisp and fresh and mellow and snug, solemn and melancholy.
And it's very, very welcome."

DAY 21: TRICK-R-TREAT

"When I was growing up Halloween was always one of my favorite holidays. Trick or treat we use to say. Of course back then we always expected a treat and if we did play a trick, it was always funny and harmless. But tonight there were no treats, there were no tricks, there was only death."

DAY TWO: TRICK-R-TREAT

"You don't really know much about Halloween... You thought no further than the strange custom of having your children wear masks and go out begging for candy."
