I put on the hat, picked up the pumpkin and knocked on nine doors. People screamed. People filmed. Nobody gave me anything.
First door. A woman said my name in the voice people save for babies, then closed the door to go get her husband. She did not come back.
Fourth door. Eleven photos of the hat. Someone asked where I got it. I got it from a drawer, I was asleep at the time.
Ninth door. A kid handed me one orange sweet. I cannot eat it and I am not giving it back.
The pumpkins get the attention every year, and they are just vegetables with a candle in them. I am wearing an entire costume.
