The Ghostly Trick-or-Treater

It was almost midnight. All the kids were gone - except one. A little girl in a torn ghost costume

stood at my door. She didn't say "trick or treat." Just stared... holding out her

bag. I dropped some candy in. She whispered, "You gave me this

last year." I froze. Last year, a girl in that same costume was hit

by a car - right in front of my house. When I looked up... she was gone. The candy bag lay

on the ground - with my name written on it. I never saw her again.
