Devil's Food page 3 by ric gustafson a Halloween story


Roy was reading the newspaper in his brown recliner when he heard the doorbell ring. He opened the door to reveal a young boy dressed as a pirate and a young girl dressed like a princess.
" Trick or Treat" yelled the small pirate as he stuck out his orange pail.
" Trick or Treat" squealed the young princess.
Roy picked up both baskets and then opened the screen door. " Would you like a candy bar or a Devil's Food zinger?".
" Roy, what are you doing?".
" Handing out Halloween treats".
Margaret gave her husband a serious stare. " Put down those zingers and think about children's interests instead of your own".
With a frown, he put down the basket of zingers and put a candy bar into each of their orange pails.
" Thank you" said the young pirate as he and the small princess ran back to their parents who were watching from the sidewalk.
The next morning, Roy was handing out Devil's Food zingers to his coworkers.

I pray that everyone has a safe Monday and Halloween. Love Ric
