The witch’s boss, Mr. Fergusson, didn't accuse as so much as nonchalantly implied, to Jenna's mother that she possibly would be considered a person of interest in the disappearance of said funds. Jenna's mother had been widely known for being a woman whom appreciated possessions of a finer quality. Even if such things far exceeded what her income as a treasurer of a non-for-profit charity would allow. Such extravagances, she routinely liked to indulge in would have always remained out of her reach if she hadn’t helped herself along at times. Even when her husband’s meager income as a paramedic been factored along with hers, it still remained obvious to anybody who knew her that she’d been aided financially in one way or another. …show more content…

You're never too old for trick-or-treating.” April chided him. “Besides, I thought you were all in a huff to get back to your story?” “Alright, alright,” Murray hissed at April. “Now where was I? Oh, yeah,”
The witch cracked open Jenna's bedroom door, peeking in only to find that indeed Jenna was sound asleep still in her Halloween costume and surrounded by candy wrappers while the television droned on in a murmur of the late night news. Having seen the mess and the television left on the witch threw up her hands dramatically into the air as if to say, what, can't turn off the TV? She then crept into the room to power the television down herself, but had elected to leave Jenna in her costume still lying in among the candy wrappers. If that's the way you want to put yourself to bed, Fine. The witch thought to herself before she left the room. After the witch seemed satisfied that Jenna was asleep and would no longer be a burden for the rest of the night, she opened up her second bottle of wine, and popped a few more of her little white pills. For the anxiety of potential pending legal troubles kept creeping into her mind weighting her thoughts down as heavy as

For her, everyday acts seem much more enjoyable when on drugs. She goes out of their way to experience something new and exciting. She is a creative writer and uses drugs as a way to get back to her child-like imaginative state. Suddenly, with the drugs back in her life, she seems to have much more insight and a wilder imagination. "And the afternoon was absinthe yellow and almond, burnt orange and chrysanthemum. And in the abstract sky, a litany of kites"(93). She longs to feel this way all of the time, but she knows the consequences. She sees doing drugs like going to a carnival. It is an escape from the boring life she is leading now. Even though she has a daughter, she still feels like there is something she is missing out on. The idea of motherhood takes backseat to her lust for drugs.
After a stressful situation with Montag and her friends, Mildred automatically took her sleeping pills to forget the whole ordeal. This can be connected to today’s world and people with addiction. Whether it be drugs, alcohol, or entertainment, people decide to drown themselves in different substances to forget instead of tackling the problem head on.

Jenna felt her stomach begin to growl and she thought of the dinner her father had prepared for them before he’d left for work. Spaghetti and meatballs with cheesy garlic bread, her absolute favorite. The very thought of it was now making Jenna 's mouth water as she licked her lips in hunger. She silently wished that she would have eaten earlier with her father back when he had just finished cooking it. That was right before he had kissed her on the cheek, told her he loved her, and headed off to work the night shift as a paramedic at Saint Christopher 's Hospital. But, she was too excited about Halloween to eat just then, the anticipation of trick-or-treating being such a short time away filling her every thought with joy. She was a

On a dark and creepy day on Halloween night some kids were going trick or treating but not all of them. Except the three Jameson kids who decided to stay home this year. The oldest boy’s name is Tommy, the middle child is a girl and her name is Sara lastly the youngest boy’s name is Tyrone. Before the permission from their mom, she has warned them about the missing kids who didn't decide to participate in Halloween last year who went off to do whatever they wanted and were missing so she is hopeful that they are not planning on going anywhere this halloween. An hour passed by and they realized that it was only 11:00 and Halloween wasn’t over yet. On the other hand, they were not even receiving candy so Tommy has come up with an idea that instead of staying in the house empty handed; he has something else in mind. Maybe we can sneak out the house and go to the haunted mansion by the gloomy corn field. Sarah did not agree, but it will be better than staying in the house. Tyrone agrees with anything but he just wants a piece of candy before the night is over.

Everyone knew about the screwball of a witch, Harriet, who lived in the back of the woods. Harriet was genuine in her efforts but was forgetful, and that wasn’t the best thing to be when you’re a witch. One time she casted a spell to water everyone’s plants, a thoughtful gesture, but went to sleep without turning the cast off, flooding the entire town! Some people in the Hallows were still cross at Harriet for her mishap. But as long as she had her magical wand nobody could stop her.

By the half-light of a suspensor lamp, dimmed and hanging near the floor, the awakened boy could see a bulky female shape at his door, standing one step ahead of his mother.
