It was the night before Halloween. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse . . .
I’m kidding, of course.
Yes, it is Halloween, and tonight my wife Darla and I have been invited to one of our neighbor’s home that
’s throwing a get-together party for the night. The requirement was simple: show up at nine and wear something seductive or else. Darla opted to wear a see-through dress that came with feline outlines in front. The fabric was light enough to make out her breasts and thong panties. I wore a purple suit equipped with a matching purple shirt, shoes, and even a purple handkerchief sticking out of my front pocket. I had purchased the outfit weeks ago and this was my first time wearing it. I applied green makeup to my face to complete my Joker transformation. What I resembled instead was a bloated cucumber. That came from Darla laughing at my snazzy outfit.
“You might as well have put on a foot suit,” she said while she fixed her earrings.
“Laugh all you want, dear,” I said. “You’ll be surprised the crazy stuff others will wear at the party.”
It’s Halloween night, after all, so such is often the norm. Especially when it comes to hosting adult parties. When we felt ready, we switched off every light in the house before locking the door. We linked arms together and made like we were out for an evening stroll. Almost every home was adorned with Halloween decorations. It was like each house was fighting to out do the other in terms of ghoulish décor in their front lawn.
It was a short stroll to our neighbor’s home, and we recognized other invitees arriving at the same time at their front door. Our neighbors, Seth and his wife Julia, were dressed like Gomez and Morticia from the Addams family and welcomed us and everyone else inside.
“Jerry! Darla! Come on in,” boomed Seth, after which we shook hands while he exchanged kisses with Darla and commented on how appropriately dressed she was for the night. “You guys got here just in time. Come on inside; the party has already started.”
