      Tiff Takes on Halloween, a Whisperings Paranormal Mystery Short Story - Linda Welch

      TIFF TAKES ON HALLOWEEN

      ––––––––

      The Avenues were crazy with costumed kids tearing everywhere, parents yelling at them or waiting on the sidewalk while their little darlings threatened to trick if they didn’t get a treat. Lights shaped like orange and white striped candy corn, pumpkins, cats and even eyeballs were strung from eaves, in porches and over windows. Vinyl blow-ups equipped with air pumps swayed on lawns: zombies, giant cats and spiders, black carriages, ghosts and a host more. And of course just about every porch and yard sported carved pumpkins; some were downright artistic.

He didn’t decorate inside his apartment, it would have been too much with the Christmas trees he keeps lighted and decorated in the big multi-purpose room year round. But pumpkins of all sizes trooped up the wrought-iron steps from Twenty-Second Street and decals plastered the windows, even the office windows. I would be okay with a few tastefully positioned ones, maybe, but not so many I had to peer hard to see any actual glass. I thought it looked unprofessional, and told him so.

      Royal said, Oh, lighten up, Tiff. It is Halloween. As if that excused poor taste.

      I’d striped my silver-white hair with wash-out blue dye, used gray to ring my eyes and hollow my cheeks, and that was it. I wasn’t supposed to be anything in particular. I wore a
