Halloween and I’m feeling the chill running up and down my spine now. Quiet but emotional voices whisper their secretive preparations. A deep low growl mixed in with the highly charged voices. Trickles of sweat are making little rivulets down my face are fogging up my glasses. This suspense is stirring up an explosion of curiosity. I burst into the shed ready to do any battle I must. This is after all the night before the debauchery of candy begins.
Overheard Vile Plans Of Conquest

The ghoulish minds are planning their dominance of one night out of the year. This is it. This year they will take the neighbourhood. Six dwarf sized beings were trying on various disguises. They mean to mix in so well, no one will ask any questions. Fully intending to use their foulest possible appearance to harvest the largest loot in their history. These little schemers are using a new secret. They are wishing upon a Genie to help them use the Law of Distraction to clean out the neighbourhood of all their candy.
Five dwarves and a huge four legged slobbering creature (the source of the deep growls) are now directing each with a particular responsibility. The plan of attack is to descend upon every undefended household and overwhelm each one in turn. The treasury will be looted till empty. I hate to admit it, but they have mastered the magnificent art of emotional control – their victims’.
This Is Their Diabolical Plan
* First, they will lead in with extreme charm of looks.
* Next, they will use extreme smarts with the best verbal negotiator of the lot.
* Then, they will their surprise disguises to stun the occupants into giving up more delicious loot.
* Finally, the huge demonic, slobbering beast will enforce with deep threatening growls, huge teeth and gigantic maw to frighten the pants off the one who opens the door.
Personal Mastery by Children and a Dog
Quite sobering this night is. These children provided me with enough humour that overflowed to explosive levels. I’m sure the neighbourhood must have heard my guffaws and I am expecting sirens any time now. These little minds have such a magnificent appeal with their amazing and original ideas.
Their desires expanded unbounded and they banded together to formulate a plan to carry out a truly well thought out plan, albeit quite diabolical in direction. This little group epitomises a true Mastermind. Demonstrating more organisation prowess than most groups I visit, I wondered where they had learnt it all.
And their costumes were, well, truly out of this world. They had made a “deal” with their respective parents to create this incredibly complex theme of demonic creatures. Even the huge Great Dane who is really the size of a small horse (nicknamed ‘Cuddles’) was dressed to look like a dragon with a lion’s head. One child is the headless horseman. Another is a fairy princess with a vampire pullover mask. One child carried bloody axes with faux blood all over his body with his brains hanging out. One child walks around as a zombie adult with his belly bursting open when the kid comes out to ask for candy. The littlest one appears to be a baby drinking a baby bottle of blood who leads her fearsome real live dragon around. They, including the dog all carried huge loot bags and winning optimism.
Well, Aunty R., you those videos and things you play on your cd player? We listen to them with you, you know. Remember how you tell us all to be silent when you record your videos? We can’t help but listen to your lessons…especially the part about the Genie. Any more advices Aunty R.? Well, yes. Dogs can’t eat chocolate. Bring a huge store of doggy biscuits for him, and switch his candy.
Be careful of what you say. Walls have ears and kids and a dog have more smarts that most adults. Wait a minute…I thought I saw six dwarf sized beings and I know I’ve been talking to five kids? Who was leading this Mastermind? Voices chill. The goose pimples return.
Have a happy and safe Halloween. (This post is based largely on a true incident. The neighbourhood in question is not where I live).
