Halloween Special

Hopefully the length will make up for the tardiness ;} Sorry, I had work today and every extra minute I've had I've been writing so hopefully it's as great as I believe it is. Now I won't make you read too much of this but I did put a pic off to the side. The picture is the dress that Evie wears for her costume! Beautiful isn't it? Please comment and tell me what you think.

"Happy Halloween Mr. Nanuk!"

"Thanks, you too."

I waved in greeting to one of the students as I made my way into the school.

It was finally Halloween: a night of sugar highs and scary movies.

I smiled at this thought as I watched all the students walk to the school doors dressed up in their different costumes. As a small, tight knit community our high school encouraged student events that would bring a touch of fun to their otherwise normal school activities. As such we encouraged our students to wear costumes on Halloween which happily landed on a Friday this year.

It's true that some students didn't dress up because they saw it as 'uncool' but most all the others were ecstatic to have the chance to act like little kids again.

"Nice costume Mr. N!" I turned to the group of teenage boys who had yelled this and, smiling, I waved back. I saw Justin, the bobcat, waving back and laughing with the group. This made me smile as I also saw his fiery little mate standing beside him stuck deep into his side. They were smiling and laughing happily together. I chuckled as I saw that they were dressed up as a costume couple. His mate was dressed as Sleeping Beauty and he was her Prince Charming. It was kind of a sappy romance thing but none the less cute.

As I made it to the doors I looked down at my own costume.

Since dressing up was a school encouraged event the teachers were pretty much told they Had to dress up. Not that any of us disagreed with the command in the least. It was fun to dress up on Halloween. A Tradition from our youth you could say.

I was dressed up rather fittingly, I was Dr. Frankenstein. I had a long white lab coat with random medical instruments sticking out here and there from the numerous pockets. My white hair was spiked up with hair gel into a strange maniacal mess. I wore long rubber black gloves that went to my elbows along with a surgeon mask around my neck and large vintage goggles sitting upon my forehead.

I had spent the week putting my costume together and the last touch was the splattering of red paint upon the coat and smears of fake blood on my face. I had looked into the mirror right before I left my cabin this morning and had marveled at my handiwork.

I truly looked like a deranged scientist.

As I walked along the hallways I marveled at the students' costumes. There was a menagerie of creatures big and small. There were even some great group costumes such as the Wizard of Oz from the drama students and Star Wars from the basketball team. Even the entire football team had joined in the fun and dressed as football player zombies and they truly they looked spectacular.

They had used old ripped jerseys and old battered pads. They had painted themselves all over in dark reds and greens giving the look of age and gore. Some even went as far as to walk the halls with dragging limps to pull the whole costume together.

"Avery!"

I turned to the loud, excited voice of Evie as she came strutting down the hallway with the loud clicking of high heels. She was smiling brightly as she came to stand in front of me raising her arms up ready for a hug.
