Moments #12: The Halloween That Nearly Wasn’t

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

I stood out on the front porch and watched as the sky went from being blue to being dark and gray in a matter of minutes.  That was the year that fall came early and almost all the leaves were gone by the end of October.  But just as the leaves fell early, so did the storms arrive ahead of schedule.  It rained hard during the afternoon and probably panicked everyone looking forward to spending the night collecting candy.

The rain stopped before evening came and that night, costumed searchers and their parents walked up and down the sidewalks, running up to houses and shouting, “Trick or Treat!”  I was alone that Halloween so I dressed up like a cat and handed out candy.  Everyone was extra grateful because they knew that if the storm had started just an hour later, there would have been no Halloween that year.

Moments #11: Exploring The Red House

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

One day, not too long ago, I was walking around the neighborhood with my camera when I came across a deserted house.

I decided that, since I had my camera with me, I might as well explore.

The window were broken and the backdoor was unlocked.

As I walked through the house, it seemed to be deserted but it soon became obvious that someone else had recently been there.  The doors were all open.  The ceiling fans in the kitchen were still spinning.  There was a chair, like the one pictured above, in almost every room of the house.  I started to feel uncomfortable so I decided to leave the house.  As I stepped back through the backyard, I noticed a pile of bricks lying in the backyard.

As I walked away from the house, I noticed one last thing — the remains of a bicycle in the front yard.

Eventually, someone bought and refurnished the house, fixing the broken windows and, I assume, the broken door as well.  I still wonder who owned that bicycle.
