Sometimes there are secrets so deeply hidden, made all the more mysterious by the silence of those involved. And so was the closely held secret of the strange visitor to our home that fall of the year I turned five. Not until years later, as a college student, did time reveal its secrets.
Halloween is all fun and games…until you have something to prove. For my brother, it was coming up with an elaborate costume, Sigmund the Sea Monster, to dethrone Hal DeJarnett after a years long winning streak at the annual Halloween get-together. For me, it was expressing my self on this one day a year you got to be someone other than yourself.
It was a day I saw into the future, celebrated the past and decided what it was I was going to be!
