A grandmother took down all the Halloween decorations her grandson had made – but when her mother pointed it out, she whispered, « Ask him why he wanted them taken down. »

« I don’t want that thing to come back. »

Her eyes filled with tears.

« Sorry, Mom. I know I worked really hard, but I don’t want that thing to come back. »

I hugged him.

« You don’t have to apologize. And I promise you, darling, no ghost will come to get you. »

I found Elaine putting on her coat.

« No one will come. »

« Why didn’t you tell me that someone was coming to Owen’s window at night? »

She sighed. « Because nobody comes to her window. She’s a child with too much imagination. »

« Then why did you tell her that ghosts were attracted to her decorations? »

« I was trying to reassure him. »

« By making him believe that a ghost was haunting our house? »

« Don’t be mad at me. »

Elaine rolled her eyes.
