In our neighborhood the Mom's all love Halloween so much, and this year is the year I find out why. I turned 18 three months ago, and though it has always been a secret -about the house on the hill on Halloween night, me kept away after trick or treating with a babysitter at home, even till last year! - this year Mom promised me I would be able to go up the house with her and the other Moms and adults. It was always strange knowing that all the Moms were up at the fancy Victorian mansion, which I was told used to be a kind of place where men would pay to keep company with ladies - until it got shut down almost fifty years ago and stood abandoned for years and years.. All Halloween night I always remembered it was all lit up, with wild shadows in the windows, and I swore I could hear what sounding like ghosts howling all through the night if it was quiet and the wind was just right, while I sat in my room and stared up at it out my window.
The only clue was that all the men in the neighborhood would parade up there after the Mom's had set it up, and they would stumble down the hill toward dawn looking happy, smiling and laughing together, but looking curiously drained.
My birthday was three months before Halloween this year and Mom told me that she had a special invitation for me that I could open Halloween night, and I was thinking, could this be it?
Will I learn the secret of the Halloween house?
The week before was mostly normal, doing my school work and chores and when I came home from practice Mom was seeming very cheerful. She is usually pretty perky but, maybe she was dressed a little different or I don't know what it was, but I noticed that she looked a little... well, I never noticed her cleavage as much as this week. I mean, I guess I always noticed that she has really big boobs, and they are very shapely in fact, but, well, like tonight when I was working on my science lab report. and Mom came in - in a costume! She was dressed as a pirate and peeked in the door (usually she knocks but she just opened the door this time and SAID 'knock knock'. What if I had been doing something besides homework late alone in my room, geez Mom. Don't do that unkless you are looking to maybe catch your son with his pants down! And then, when I turn around she comes dancing into the room with a very skimpy pirate costume, singing to me! "He was working in his lab, late one night, when his eyes beheld an eerie sight!" And spun me around in my chair by pulling the back on its swivel and her big boobs in the torn looking cloth bouncing right in front of my face! I gulped.
