The Halloween Trick
Butch swilled beer while watching Carpenter’s Halloween. It was up loud to aggravate his wife, Darlene, already in bed.
The doorbell rang. Butch opened the door, shouted, “Trick!” and then slammed the door. He’d been doing that all night.
When the chunky kid in the white mask appeared, Butch said, “Michael Myers! Trick!”
Butch was dozing when a crash came from the bedroom.
“Darlene, dammit!”
He nodded off.
The doorbell rang. That kid in the white mask again.
“Look, kid. Trick. Get it?”
The kid pulled Darlene’s head from his bag and dropped it.
“Yeah, I get it. Trick, motherfucker.”
