Best of all, we can grow bananas in the backyard!”

Young voices repeat with conviction,
“It’s just a night for entertainment.”

as their eyes focus on the cracked pavement.

Undeniably sensing they’re not alone,
many follow in their hesitant footsteps,
eager to reach doors and push doorbells
but afraid of frightening special effects....
