Gwylynnsgarden was the neighborhood’s Kool-Aid mom. Her home was a safe and comfortable place. She’d had loads of children come Trick or Treating before it started to pour. She was just about to turn off her porch lights when a child from a few doors down dressed as a princess rang her doorbell. The costume the child’s mother had made her especially for Halloween 2024 was sticking to her body, her makeup was dripping down her cheeks, and she was shivering. “HAaaachew!”
“Have you no brain at all, child?” Gwylynnsgarden mumbled as she looked down at the miserably wet girl.
“I have a dold in my dose,” the girl explained. My mom and dad said dot to, but I had to say Twick or Tweat to you.”
“Take these and run right home as fast as you can,” Gwylynnsgarden said in an I-Mean-It voice as she wrapped the child up in a Reverse Patchwork Quilt and handed her A Box of Tissues, Chicken Soup in a special protective wrapper, Chocolate Mice, a Grape Gummy Brain, Liquorice Gummy Renat Legs, and an October Booser.
A Box of Tissues, Chicken Soup in a special protective wrapper, Chocolate Mice, a Grape Gummy Brain, Liquorice Gummy Renat Legs, a Reverse Patchwork Quilt and an October Booster have been sent to Gwylynnsgarden in case another rain-soaked kid shows up
