This is a lovely story with a lot of heart. It is a neat surprise for mom to have a son come home and trick or treat at her house. I assume he hadn't really turned into an ugly Hulk.

Nope! Just a young man returning from war and anxious to see his mom. It was just one of those feel good moments. Thanks so much.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

I could feel the love in this Halloween story. Nothing scarry, just sweet. Will recognized the voice and called Mom. The best stories end with a grin and a big hug.

Yes, this trick or treat was for the Mom... Can't have the kids getting all the fun, now can we? I was promised a Hershey bar though and I haven't seen it yet. LOl Thanks so much....
Hope you're going to jump into the new book - title changed to MIracles but the actions ramping up already.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

thanks so much, Patricia. I guess it was about time the MOm got the Treat instead of the little ones and what better than the return home of a son from war.

Dang it Lady. You don't make a man cry on Halloween. It's supposed to be scary. I miss my son so much. I dressed him as an elf for Christmas, as a pirate for Halloween, and, as a good, honest, and respectful young man every other day of his life. You are the best.

Your kids seem as odd as mine. They get their sense of humor from me. I slept through the trick or treating, I never know when I will fall asleep.Odd. Anyhoo, Love to you and yours. Karen

Thanks for stopping by Karen. The only creatures I have at my door are the wild animals and none of them knocked... thank heavens! Though the deer would have been okay.
Have a wonderful November!

A flash fiction that fits in well this Halloween season. I just got back home after passing hoards of chilldren on the sidewalks and street corners, loaded down with candy loot.

I miss the children. Since I moved to the country (which I love) I don't get any trick or treaters - not even my grandchildren won't come out here. When I lived in town, we were a corner house, and our doorbell never stopped ringing. Hope everyone was safe....Have a wonderful November!

I loved your Halloween poem. What a surprise when the mask came off. Maybe the son had been missing for a while and wanted to give mother a big hug and kiss, he was home and she was happy. Kxx

What a marvelous "treat" to find this morning and I am so thankful for it. I am thankful that you enjoyed it and also for the stars. You are so kind.

Who knew the Halloween creature would be magical, Carol. You did a good job with the story. A good opening hook that's followed by a good question by Will. The creature is not pleased at all.
I like how you subtly take it to a different level, and Will knew not to give anything away.
The creature had a special surprise and made his mother very happy. I enjoyed your story and the heart and love you put in it. Very well done.

I think homecomings and reunions can be so special and I miss that so many of my family have passed or live far away. Thank you for enjoying the story and for reviewing. Have a wonderful November!

You are very welcome, Carol. I think a lot of us are probably in a similar situation regarding family. You have a great November, too.

I like that - it's a story with a difference, in some way reminding me of the prodigal son. The return of the absent brother. A fun story with a happy ending.
