Roy McReed pressed the white garage door button. The door closed. He opened the kitchen door and walked into a spacious newly remodeled kitchen. " Hi sweetie".
" Hi honey" Margaret McReed replied as she put down a carving knife. " I'm just finishing up our Halloween pumpkin".
He yawned as he put his worn brown briefcase on top of a wooden hutch. " Work was really busy today". He walked over and opened up a white refrigerator. " Sweetie, have you seen my Hostess treats?".
" Yes, on the side next to your cheese slices".
He smiled as he noticed the red, white and blue package. He opened one and took a long bite. " I love these things".
" What are they?".
" Hostess Devil's Food zingers".
" Oh, I need you to do something for me".
He gave her a peck on the cheek. " Anything".
" I need you to go to the store and purchase our Halloween candy for tomorrow".
" Ok".
