Ghoulish outlook

Halloween – Kids, candy bags, and costumes, the sound of leaves crunching under pitter patter footsteps, wind and darkness.

I used to be thrilled when holidays would come around. Now, I find it all a mixture of obligatory gestures, rampant consumerism, and unavoidable frustration. I credit this to my current life and not to an entirely morbid permanent change in me. Ahhh conventions conventions.
