As with all of my short stories I never seem to be happy with them. This is no exception.

Two years ago I was watching Strip Search and started following Alexandra Douglass on twitter. On 20th July 2013 she posted about a dream she had and followed up with a drawing.

What follows is a short story I wrote with that drawing in mind. I wrote it two years ago, but never got it finished, because I am lazy. The last edit was done in May 2014, so I blew the dust away and read it again.

Today is Halloween in Canada, and I thought it a fitting place to finish it off, because tonight will be the first time we go trick- or-treating in the neighborhood.
