Trick or Treat

It’s All Hallows' Eve and you’d better watch out for tricksters! You never know when one of those scamps might soap your windows, or jump out and scare you, or destroy your home while simultaneously causing third degree burns! Oh, those felony-committing rascals!

This is the tale of two of those mischievous boys, who venture out on Halloween in search of delicious treats and find only loose jelly beans and alarmingly damp fudge. Eventually they encounter a bitter old man who threatens to punch them. If you’ve ever had a teenager wearing a football jersey as their “costume” demand free candy, you know the feeling.

The kids pull a prank, the man suffers immense physical harm, and we’re left to ponder the morality at hand. Namely, would he have deserved worse if instead of nothing, he’d been handing out banana Now And Laters?
