About Trick or Treat
The front porch light flicks on, and small figures in capes and masks come trooping up the walk. A carved pumpkin glows beside the door, its candlelight flickering against the cool autumn air. Inside the bag, chocolate bars, wrapped caramels, a lollipop or two, the whole sweet weight of a perfect Halloween night.
