OK children, get comfy ‘cause ‘ol uncle Tjack has a Halloween story for you. I swear before all the Gods in Southern California that this is the absolute honest truth....or wouldn’t be funny otherwise.
Once upon a time in that magical college heavy city by the sea from whence I came. It was a lovely fall night around this time of year....It was the last Friday of the month and the week had been a brutal one, selling computer supplies and furniture to the early birds coming into their new dorms. Well, after closing up the store and punching out I was dead on my feet and still had to hustle to catch the connecting bus to get to the one that would take me home.
So I was about to cross a major city street, I looked both ways and stepped off the high curb in the middle of the street and almost got clobbered by a drunk, driving a black car without his headlights on. I jumped up and back and started to stumble on the curb when a small delicate hand steadied my shoulder.
I looked down at my own feet and turned looking first at the feet of my rescuer. Black high lace up combat boots. Black tights with holes in spots. Baggy black shorts, black bustier, black fingerless gloves, pale (REALLY pale) skin, shoe polish black hair in all directions and a pale (REALLY pale) face with an ankh centered over one eye. (Looked a little like Tori Amos)
As I tried to get my brain to reboot I definitely said out loud “I think I may be in trouble here.. “ she just giggled cocked her head to the side, smiled at me and turned and skipped away.
I spent the next two bus rides and the rest of the night telling myself that it was the last Friday night before Halloween and the area was packed solid with dorms and frat houses throwing costume parties.
Sometimes I still tell myself that.
