Children often have a few vivid, sometimes common, childhood memories. The first time they ride a bike. The Christmas they got the toy they really wanted. Their first trip to the zoo. There can be a few less happy ones, though, that's a given.

Like, for example, having the back teeth pulled from your mouth.

He'll admit it; he did it to himself. A child with an insatiable sweet tooth, who didn't understand what all that sugar could do. Any loose coins were spent on candy and chocolate. A stash was kept in his room, and he would snack through the night without anyone being the wiser. And oh, what a menace he was on Halloween. Sometimes he'd make two costumes, just to go around the neighborhood twice and double up on the spoils of the holiday night. It was only once a year that everyone gave out all of this free candy, after all, and he was going to get as much of that stuff as he could.

This, of course, led to his back teeth becoming rotten.

You could only lie about that for so long before people found out. Next thing you know, you're being put under sedation and waking up with four less candy chompers. It was, admittedly, a wake up call to him. They told him quite bluntly that if he kept eating the way he was, he would lose more. They would keep rotting. That scared him more than the idea of cutting back on the sweets, so he did his best to change his eating habits.

Now as an adult, he still has a sweet tooth; he just knows more about moderation, and healthier alternatives. That's why on Halloween night when the kids come to his door, they're greeted by his smiling face and a tray of tasty looking homemade treats. To the unknowing eye, they just looked like little chocolates. But when they took a bite, he was often met with a few various reactions.

Some kids didn't notice.
Some kids thought they were tasty.
Some kids would look surprised.
And there were always a few who would scrunch up their nose, give him a suspicious glance, and say -

"Is this fruit?"

And the answer to that was a simple yes, yes it was.

Banana slices. Orange segments. Strawberries. Blueberries. Pieces of mango and kiwifruit. All dipped in a thin layer of chocolate, cooled in the fridge, and ready to be served.

He knows full well you can't stop kids from eating candy, so why not mix things up a little? You get a bit of chocolate with a bit of fruit, and everyone wins. They certainly help to curb his cravings, and he's hoping they'll do the same for the kids. It was almost like a prank; harmless, of course. Both a trick and a treat for these trick or treaters. If he could help them get in a bit of their five plus a day, he'd keep on doing it.

"if you could only be like me,
oh you'd see, you'd see,
if you could only be like me..."



cold wind tore through ragged branches
old stonework hissed and spat as dirt and sand rushed past
a flag so tattered it unwound to a shapeless whip lashed out at the midnight sky

this was home

nori felt the quiet whispers of the walls, pulses of pressure as gusts raged through glassless windows
and spun the debris that had worked their way in, cackling leaves and clouds of dirt
the old blanket shuddered around him, and he felt his old bones grow weary

nesting away, he found his place locked tight in his skull
what warmth felt like
what home felt like
some of these things lingered here, others seemed so very far away



children's footsteps brought his eyes alight
he slithered out of his head again and felt the tug on his ear,
the twitch, the undeniable itch of noise he ached to hear

company
yes
good company

old cemetery stones padded underfoot as he scurried closer
the children of the village always so ready to join him on this most hallowed night
the night he could feel alive again

"come on," the little boy whispered, tugging along a slightly older girl
big sister?

"be careful," she whispered back to him

oh yes, be careful

nori felt a tingle as they stepped so close now
"oh little children come out to play
it's my favorite, favorite day"

"oh!" the girl gasped, bending down at once
as nori's sweet eyes
gentle purr brought her closer

"kitty!" the boy grinned, and ran up to nori's side
hand extended he reached for soft fur, fluffy black kitty fur
oh so sorry to say, little cat has run away

"you scared him, stephen, be more gentle," sister cooed,
while nori watched now from atop a near stone
a friendly fellow, buried here, but never too fond of cats

"here kitty," she called, and nori's tail went
swish swish
come play, little tease

from one stone he hopped to another, then down,
wove his way through the burial ground

"if only you were me, you'd see, you'd see"

"come!" the boy chirped with a voice like a whistle
so sweet and shrill and carried on the air
he just wanted to play

paw pads tapped silence from spot to spot,
leading the chase on as nori's little grin grew bigger and broader
just a little closer, a little further, he brought her

big sis caught up as nori reached the gates
his body bumped the iron as the wind sang louder
a little rattle between the two forces, enough to give her a shudder

"what's wrong" little boy asked, "emelie?"

"the old crypt," she whispered

"meow," he churred, and hoped big eyes would do it
but they don't follow
they call, come back, come here, come back

oh of course, you know
that no one ever follows
no one ever comes home

little black cat meows meow meow
but if they won't come home
nori wants his time to play

dashing up around little feet
oh children try to reach him
oh how he won't let them

closer he'll come then farther he goes,
the chase leads on
little gravel path, little iron gate
little black cat, little lost way

oh no, little boy, big sis, where's home?
which way did you enter?
which way should you go?

but they smile and run little black cat leads
until the ground slips underneath little feet

down the hill they slide until
they reach the bottom, jack and jill
nori dances his way down

come and catch me, come and catch me

little boy in tears, big sis will tend
chasing black cats on halloween night?
no real harm done, and nori purrs

time to head home little ones



nori's purr rolls over and how he wished he could say
to feel the bruises that remind you of life
to run and dash and play

to feel the love, to feel wanted
stay together little ones
the bruises are just a little fun

little black cat led the way back home
watching tail swishing through the gates as they go
oh little boy, big sis


mournful meows rose up over the wind of a terribly cold night
as little boy and girl hurry home, the black cat of the crypt a story to tell
with a few scuffs and bruises and no new friend after all

while nori crawls back into the tiny cat skull
old bones covered in a filthy musty rag
the blanket he'd found his last night in last hope

maybe he could still find his way home

if only, if only
you'd see

She loves to do pranks on other people (especially her brother!) on Halloween because she loves to see the faces of the people she pranks. It is very funny to see all the surprised looks on their faces. Halloween is the best time for her because its spooky season. She really does not mean to be rude to them. She just really likes to see them when it happens. The pranks are always harmless because she does not want anybody to get hurt. 100/1000

"Again, Kane? Really? The bucket on the door trick is getting so ol-" The complainant's voice was muffled not a second later by the sheet of thin plastic that had been rolled across the doorway, pulling their lips up at an unnatural angle, eyes wide with surprise, making for an absolutely hilarious picture for all who'd seen it. Even if only stuck out of surprise for a moment, the kal's voice joined the chorus of laughter that had filled the room a second ago, the faces around them bright-eyed, beaming with amusement. And then there was the trickster, right at the centre of it all, feeding off of the happy emotions all around him. It was halloween night, a night where tricks were allowed, of course he was going to take advantage of that! On a normal day, he tried a variety of different things to brighten people's days, his playful, teasing, childish nature brought joy to so many people, and he loved doing it! Life was too serious; struggles and troubles abounded, so to them? Halloween was a day where he could use his skills (in his own words, of course) to bring smiles to faces and fill the room with laughter and joy.

His targets were always just those that could take it, a clingfilm wrapped door here, a toffee-candy onion, disguised as an apple, there, marshmallows dipped in barbeque passed off as chocolate, and who could forget the classic costume scare? He'd hide around the corner and jump out at the nearest unsuspecting visitor, teeth bared, eyes wide and 'claws' (his soft paws made to look intimidating, it never worked) on show. Screams were followed by hysterics, followed by the only 'candy' that he really needed; smiles, with a side of happiness.



Res with they think that life can be too serious sometimes, they like helping others to lighten up and have as much fun as they do on a daily basis!)
