Waiting for Sarah (2003)
“the dead are everywhere Robbie’s two small cousins were visiting for Halloween and Robbie had agreed to take them on a trick-or-treat tour of his neighborhood. “Why don’t you join us?” he said to Mike. “Should be fun. Jimmy and Sharon are going as aliens, so I’m gonna join them in a Boba Fett bounty hunter mask.”
“No, thanks. I’m too old for that stuff.”
“You don’t have to dress up. Just come as you are.”
“Meaning what? I look like a natural freak?”
“Aw, come on, Mike. You always liked Hallowee...n, remember?”
“How old are your cousins?”
“Jimmy’s eight, Sharon’s six.”
In the end he agreed to go. Robbie was like a little kid, eager and excited over the smallest thing, like wearing a mask and shepherding his little cousins around. It was the least Mike could do; Robbie was always there when Mike needed him. Easy-going and good-natured, he never expected anything in return.
The weather cooperated. The day had been sunny and cold. In the late afternoon a mist had descended, making it the perfect evening for a haunting.MoreLess
