The Witch and The Man
It began with the face in the wardrobe. It is the first clear encounter that I can recall. Having never been particularly fond of the dark as a child as with most children, I often found my way into my mother's bed if I awoke in the middle of the night. On that night, as I curled around my mother, my eyes turned to the wardrobe in the far corner of the room and there it was. A face shrouded in all the darkness of the night watching my mother. I lay motionless, my breathing coming faster with every exhale. It did not notice at first that I could see it, it merely stared through black holes that eyes had once occupied. The air in the room turned to ice and its eyes moved to mine. There was a moment’s hesitation and then it looked at me. The smile that came over its face was slow and horrifying. For whatever reason, the smile broke through my stillness and as those black holes followed me, I lay down gently afraid that too rapid a movement would bring more than just a face. I rolled away and faced the wall. For some time, I could feel it there, still grinning like some demented Cheshire Cat and it seemed it was trying to speak with me. My brain tingled with half formed words that were not my own. Eventually, my childish fear put me to sleep.

Simon's Guest
Simon Fairweather relaxes in his home, a glass of whiskey in his hand, the television turned on with the sound turned down.

Simon has grown weary of the world and its problems after his own fell apart some years ago. Now he quietly enjoys watching it falling apart, shaking his head and sipping his whiskey gently as he whispers about how terrible it all is, whispers it to nobody at all. There's nobody left.

Clowns: The evolution from comical to creepy to criminal
Clowns used to be fun as well as funny. They delighted generations of children who loved them and looked forward to seeing them at the circus. In the cartoon Dumbo, (1941) the clowns were hilarious, playing jokes on each other and making the audience laugh. One was standing on the top of a firetruck ladder roasting a hot dog in the flames from a fire that his pals were down below trying to put out.

Tempting the Devil
It was a clear beautiful morning in Mexico and two brothers were eagerly awaiting the end to another long week. All day they kept thinking of what fun they would have after their hard days work was done and the best idea they had was to go and have a beer at the local cantina. Of course, this is what they did every Friday night and it seemed to fit the bill but this night was one that would remain burned in their memory forever.

BABY JIGSAW
The concept of Halloween is fantastic. It's phenomenal how you get to dress your little boy or a girl in the adorable Disney princess or attractive Disney king costume. I always like to go above and beyond to show my daughter that her dad is creative. To show my daughter that her mother and her father can create something that will make people laugh and make people stop in their tracks. The family that will have people look at their costumes because, as a family, they came together and made everybody's attention go to their excellent costume design. We decided to think about what was not expected for an infant costume. We decided to take a horror film, add a spin, and a joke to it by creating my daughter being the "jigsaw" doll from the famous movie "SAW." The game we have to play is getting the key out of her diapers to get us back into our house. Still, you know how kids are they take important objects and misplace them, and so it's just a loving joke that she swallowed the key, and now we have to dig through dirty diapers to find it! Happy Halloween to us, parents, right?. You know, people wonder how you can make a horror movie funny, or kid-friendly. Hence, as we sat back, we thought this would be cute and organic if we find a way to make this parent and kid-friendly and appealing to the eye without being too scary for a toddler, and I believe we pulled it off marvelously. I love any concept that can bring families together, and this is something my child's mother and I can sit down and design a costume and make people laugh and make people admire the time we spent together. To go out and buy our daughter the same old trending costume is fun, but instead, we sat together as a family unit and bonded while we designed this costume. I plan to do that for every Halloween up until my daughter has kids. All you need is a little chocolate syrup, a little face paint, some cardboard from the dollar store, and some old T-shirts. You have a family bonding time fast, easy cheap way of building a costume. There are always ways to fall into depression during a pandemic. There are still was to stay positive, like making a costume with your family. That's a great start; to get out of your head, get out of your comfort zone. This monumental moment in history causes many people to be sad, so I hope people take the time to build with their kids, have a great family time and family moments, and don't let this moment take away from the joy you brought into this world. It's easy to buy a costume for $30, but it's more joyful to watch your kid help you build an outfit that you, as a parent, taught from scratch. Now you get to see everybody watch you guys walk down the street and say, "wow, they put that together as a family so cool!". So I hope everybody for Halloween this year goes costume designing different as possible! The Allman family will always have surprises for the world's people when it comes down to holiday events! Imagine what I have in store for next years costume, stick around and see, and you'll be shocked!! Happy Halloween 2020!
