Meant to post this on Halloween but I got too trashed to remember. This happened two years ago. Hope some of you are still in the mood for a long ish halloween story.
“I don’t really like Halloween.” She said. “The city just fills up with loud British idiots in superman costumes.”
We had met a couple months prior and had soon gotten stuck in spending every weekend together, fucking, partying, hiking. She was someone, like me, who was ever driven onwards by a need for novelty and adventure. So we were always spurring each other on. Still are in fact.
She was also pretty cynical. Which I generally loved. But when it comes to Halloween she definitely needed to given a proper introduction.
“Yeah but just think of how amazing it is that the whole country will be celebrating a pagan holiday.”
She snorted. “So? It’s all just another excuse to sell people a load of plastic crap that will end up in our oceans.”
