time to set upon costume tasks
my bro and i get ready to dress
but just then Dad asks
"Can we take a picture, a before one"?
"then we'll take one when you're done".
so we glance at the camera
he snaps the shutter but just one
We finish getting ready
and out the door we trick and treat
from house to house we see him
this zombie boy follows our feet
he never speaks he only smiles
and tags along all night
and when we're all finished
he disappears from sight
trick or treating comes and goes
we tally up our candy shared
Dad enters the room, he looks pale
I ask him "what's wrong daddy?"
"you look scared".
from his hand comes the photo
we glance at the picture in disbelief
as my hair stands on end
we stare at each other in grief
unable to give an explanation
to what it is we see
for where we were just us two
the photo now shows the zombie boy
in between us, number three
*insert scream here*
Honorable mention
