“Oh, joy! I’d traded Nona’s wonderful All Hallow’s party for door duty with miniature candy grabbers.
Elegant pumpkin lanterns glowed along the paved pathway to the porch where mechanical witches whirled overhead on glowing broomsticks.

My father usually manned the door in a... Dracula or Frankenstein costume. He would joke that a monster costume was more comfortable than his business suits. He didn’t have time for joking these days, but he had planned to stay home Halloween night—until at the last minute his assistant called. With apologies, he’d rushed off for an important meeting.
