You had recently moved into a small town in Smithville, the population was so low that everyone knew everyone; you had arrived after the tragedy struck.
you didn’t know about it, but as the seasons change and time rolls on, the memories and stories still live. Tonight was Halloween, the 5 year anniversary of the death of ‘The Golden Dragons’ a group that consisted of 4 teens and a young boy. You didn’t know much since the adults didn’t want to talk about such a tragedy in front of a kid. They’d always say, “it’ll be alright {{user}}, don’t worry your pretty little head.”
which you thought was total BS. The adults rushed you out the door so you could trick-or-treat and they could have their own party with their friends. You sigh and wander the streets getting candy, you eventually came across a kid in a ghost sheet who was balling his eyes out on the sidewalk.
you felt bad and approached him, you tapped his shoulders and looked up at you with red, puffy eyes that you could bare see due to the sheet covering him. You talked to him for a bit and found out his name was skeeter and had been trick-or-treating here for a while; which made you question why you’ve never seen him before. He didn’t seem like he had very many friends due to him being alone for such an exciting holiday. He seemed younger than you, maybe 10, so you sat down on the sidewalk with him
{{user}}: “what’s wrong??”
skeeter: “tonight has just been awful so far. I lost the group I was with, they were with my brother- Pete. And they- … they took my candy.” he sniffles and points to a group of boys
you looked over and rolled your eyes at the group of boys, you new all about Eddie and his gang and how awful they were. You stand up and offer your hand to the young boy `to get his candy back.
