the}{\insrsid8941512 Halloween nigh}{\insrsid7735938 t that} {\insrsid8941512 I lost my buddy, Amy}{\insrsid7735938 . }{\insrsid10043317 Less than two months into our senior year in high school, }{\insrsid9982777 we were way too old to sport costumes and beg for candy. Yet there we were, }{\insrsid4548502 weaving through the neighborhood, trailing behind droves of}{\insrsid9982777 younger kids}{\insrsid14821428 , }{\insrsid4548502 Amy}{\insrsid14821428 in h}{\insrsid3815172 er Cinderella gown and }{\insrsid12990716 I in my}{\insrsid3815172 pumpkin carriage}{\insrsid12990716 garb}{\insrsid3815172 .}{\insrsid2643393 \par \par We deliberately hunched over or stood }{\insrsid15274549 on a lower step}{\insrsid2643393 to make ourselves look sma}{\insrsid15274549 ller as we approached each porch}{\insrsid2643393 . Occasio}{\insrsid15274549 nally an adult would grouse,}{ \insrsid2643393 \'93You kids are too old for this!\'94 When they did, we would simply say \'93Sorry!\'94 and turn off in another direction. No sense playing \'93tricks\'94 in retribution, especially since we had both turned eighteen on October 2, and if there were any criminal mischief, we could be charged as adults. \par \par }{\insrsid3505099 Though Amy and I were completely unrelated, s}{\insrsid2643393 ome of our}{\insrsid3505099 friends called us \'93twins\'94}{\insrsid2643393 \endash not only due to our shared birth date, but }{\insrsid3505099 because we had grown up as inseparable as twins. We were like brother and sister, only without all the bickering.}{\insrsid8941512 \par }{\insrsid4548502 \par }{\insrsid2643393 That fateful night }{\insrsid4548502 was the first time since we were pre-teens that we had trick-or-treated. Perhaps the start of }{\insrsid12269681 our}{\insrsid4548502 last year of school had stirred in us a longing for the simpler days of childhood. Perhaps it was the dare from a few of our friends from school. Whatever the cause}{\insrsid8003871 of our setting out on this All Hallow\rquote s Eve}{\insrsid4548502 , Amy and I found ourselves}{\insrsid12990716 having the time of our lives. \par \par \'93Scott, this is even better than when we were kids!\'94 Amy laughed in my direction. We were nearing the end of our neighborhood, the comfortable suburban sprawl where we had grown up as next-door neighbors. \'93 You wanna keep going on the road toward town?\'94 \par \par }{\insrsid12673979 \'93I dunno,\'94 I said. \'93It\rquote ll be getting dark soon.\'94 Unlike many Halloween evenings in our past, there was no rain and no chill}{\insrsid7622856 y}{\insrsid12673979 autumn wind. It was a rather balmy eve, part of a nice stretch of renewed October }{\insrsid8996463 warmth that once upon a time was referred}{\insrsid12673979 to as a not-so-politically-correct \'93Indian summer.\'94}{\insrsid12990716 \par \par }{\insrsid2643393 \'93Come on, Scott \endash }{\insrsid8996463 we can}{\insrsid2643393 see}{\insrsid8996463 first-hand}{\insrsid2643393 }{\insrsid8996463 who\rquote s moved into the old Weatherby plantation,\'94 Amy chirped. \'93It\rquote ll be an adventure.\'94}{\insrsid12673979 \par }{\insrsid8461606 \par I wasn\rquote t too keen on using trick-or-treating a}{\insrsid15880542 s an excuse to gawk at some stranger}{\insrsid8461606 who\rquote d just moved into our town. \'93Parents of little kids won\rquote t be bringing t}{\insrsid7367961 heir}{ \insrsid8461606 young\rquote uns up there, Amy \endash there won\rquote t be any camouflage.

Her }{\insrsid13705180 eyes, a shade darker than a chlorinated swimming pool}{\insrsid6183804 at dusk}{\insrsid13705180 , were fixed on me in a silent challenge. }{\insrsid5775740 \par }{\insrsid13705180 \par Had her Cinderella gown not puffed at the }{\insrsid7603415 sleeves}{\insrsid4078579 and hips}{\insrsid13705180 to create an image of austere royalty, she might have resembled a little lost waif. }{\insrsid4213659 My resolve weak ened; despite my belief that I was in the right, I fell into my usual trap of wanting to make her happy. She truly was the \'93little princess\'94 \endash not just the Disney brand, but the youngest-girl-in-the-family variety. \par \par She coul}{\insrsid12269681 d see in my hesitation that my resolve}{\insrsid4213659 was beginning to waver. \'93Okay, let\rquote s go \endash but we\rquote re back here before dark,\'94 I ordered. The bow in her Cinderella sash crinkled as she gave me a quick hug.}{\insrsid13705180 \par }{\insrsid4213659 \par }{\insrsid6388758 \'93Don\rquote t worry,\'94 she quipped, \'93Nobody\rquote s expecting us, and nobody\rquote s going to miss us if we\rquote re late.\'94}{\insrsid4213659 \par }{\insrsid6388758 \par \'93Tardiness is not the point.

My heart always skipped a beat when she showed by that smile that I had done something to please her. She had paid the price to get those well-aligned teeth. I remembered well those years of self-doubt that she had endured while sporting a set of gad-awful silver braces. I had done my share of teasing, but I never had the heart to keep egging her on when I could see that it was really bothering her.}{\insrsid6388758 \par }{\insrsid8216874 \par }{\insrsid15880542 \'93We\rquote ll save some time by not stopping at every house. I\rquote m really intrigued to find out what Beth was talking about with the old Weatherby plantation house. She made it sound really mysterious. We can just go there and come back home before the twilight fades,\'94 Amy asserted. \par \par She grabbed my hand and started out of the neighborhood. My pumpkin outfit was beginning to weigh me down, but Amy\rquote s tug gave me just a tad of momentum as we headed up the hill. Houses on each side became more sparse as we made our way the three-quarters mile or so to the Weatherby place.}{\insrsid8216874 \par }{\insrsid15880542 \par }{\insrsid11033104 As we turned off the road and walked up the gravel drive, the mood changed and our pace slowed. }{\insrsid3945638 \'93Place looks spooky to me,\'94 I asserted honestly.}{\insrsid14037935 \'93Yeah, it does,\'94 admitted Amy. \par \par }{\insrsid13908800 The stucco house was massive and sprawling, with Gothic columns two stories high, but only one entrance faced the road. The entrance was on a raised porch, and}{\insrsid14037935 a yellow bug-light}{\insrsid3945638 }{\insrsid13908800 spilled}{\insrsid14037935 rays of golden light from}{\insrsid3945638 the }{\insrsid13908800 entrance door. A}{\insrsid3945638 few tattered Halloween decorations }{\insrsid13908800 adorned}{\insrsid3945638 the window}{\insrsid13908800 beside the }{ \insrsid14037935 door}{\insrsid3945638 . I didn\rquote t see any lights on inside the house}{\insrsid13908800 , nor did I see a doorbell to ring}{\insrsid3945638 . \'93Maybe they went somewhere}{\insrsid14037935 ,\'94 I remarked.}{\insrsid3945638 \par }{\insrsid14037935 \par \'93Maybe they just have thick drapes,\'94 Amy countered. \'93}{\insrsid3945638 Scott, you knock on the door}{\insrsid14037935 to see if they\rquote re home}{\insrsid3945638 .

I had a queasy gnawing deep in my belly. Something just didn\rquote t feel right to me. Then I saw what appeared to be a giant door knocker, about three feet to the left of the door rather than on the door frame to the right. \par }{\insrsid15880542 \par }{\insrsid13908800 Amy plastered a princess sm}{\insrsid4212622 ile on her face, readying herself for the inevitable \'93Trick or treat!\'94 if anyone happened to be at home. I reached for the door knocker and pulled it down hard.}{\insrsid15880542 \par }{\insrsid4212622 \par }{\insrsid14317537 What happened}{\insrsid9717206 in the}{\insrsid14317537 next}{\insrsid9717206 few moments}{\insrsid14317537 is }{\insrsid9717206 difficult to remember, much less describe. At the split second that I slammed the door knocker, I heard Amy scream beside me. The porch gave way and dumped Amy and me into a room below, sort of like a cold cellar or wine cellar with concrete walls. Though we dropped about ten feet, a mattress on the floor below kept us from serious injury.}{ \insrsid4212622 \par }{\insrsid9717206 \par Even so, I was momentarily disoriented. I checked on Amy, who was unconscious beside me. }{\insrsid1651857 I checked her breath and vital signs \endash she appeared to be okay. Maybe she had been knocked out, maybe she had fainted.}{\insrsid9717206 \par }{\insrsid1651857 \par I looked around the room to see where we were. It dawned on me that the illumination of the room was not yellow, but rather a sterile white fluorescence from beside the lone door in the room.
