Could have ended in disaster. She obviously had issues, and with guns a-plenty one never knows how people will react to being disturbed when they have made it clear they want to be left alone. I don't like the idea of doing pranks which make life hard for older people. But there was a positive ending. Thanks for sharing.

I'm guessing most all of us can tell some Halloween stories that we've like to keep as fiction, when in reality, much of them are true, or at least to some degree. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
Good Hallween story and one with a lesson. I never understood the concept of throwing toilet paper or egging someones house. People have th right not to participate in giving out candy and shouldn't be harmed because of their choice. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest.

I think that's why it's a mistake to own a gun, as they say the proof of the pudding's in the eating, one doesn't know to whom one is selling a gun to. An excellent story Beth, a terrific post, blessings Roy
Typo : On a (lease) leash? 2: It was (lol kdark) so dark?

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Lucky, lucky, lucky girl!
...a big stink about lease laws - oops (leash)
We waited until it was good dark... - (good and dark)?
I didn't know she had a gun? - Is this a question? It needs ending quotes.
Good luck in the contest.

Aw, that poor lady. We never know what is behind their reluctance to be friendly, or to welcome friendship. Growing old alone, isn't the nicest part of aging. I'm glad this ended well, if might not have done. Well done, Beth, another great story. Good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
For every action there is a reaction and this is a prime example of what can happen when we cross the line and do something to intentionally scare someone. I enjoyed your story with a moral and everybody learned from this experience, you were the sensible one here, much enjoyed Beth, love Dolly x x x

his dog broke his lease and went chasing after her cat. & but they warned him that if he couldn't keep the dog on the lease, (leash)
Something looked like a trickle of blood. running down her arm, and she was crying. (blood,)
She heard 'pressing charges' mentioned and spoke. "No, I'm not pressing no charges. (spoke,)

I was glad that the old lady did see sense in the end and perhaps she might even let the group of friends visit her in the future. I enjoyed reading this story, Beth, I could feel Patti's desire to trick the old lady burning brightly, I'm just glad no one was seriously injured. A well written piece. Good luck in the contest.
