Halloween's Past

Chapter 6
Epilogue

Chapter Description: Its the final stretch

I closed my eyes for a second but it seemed I did another time jump because something was way different. I was hoping that the nightmare was finally over since I had just relived my first Halloween. In fact at first I only saw pink which was the color of my couch in the present but I realized something else. I wasn’t lying down. I was more like floating in a strange liquid. That’s when I heard something.

“I cant believe in just a few months we will have our first child”

I recognized the voice, it was my mom and I know knew where I now was. The nightmare had taken me to beyond me first Halloween. It was when my mom was still pregnant with me.

“I know and next year our baby will have experience Halloween for the first time.”

“I hope it will love Halloween as much as we do seeing how we met at a Halloween Party all those years ago.

“Also I proposed to you on Halloween and we almost got married on Halloween.”

A thought then came to me, was this what Mrs. Rudor had in mind when she wanted to relearn the meaning of Halloween? Did she want me to find out that Halloween was very important to my parents. I was hoping it was the case because after this there wasn’t any other Halloween for me to relive. Before this I was nothing. I then heard a doorbell and then trick or treaters. It made me realize that Halloween was very special. Not to just my parents but everyone. That’s when I began to feel dizzy again.

“Oh here it comes. Please let this be the end of this nightmare.”

Like the many times before I blacked out. When I woke up, I didn’t feel any kind of liquid just the couch I was laying on right before the nightmare started. That’s when I saw the door open and my parents along with Peter and Jamie walked in the door.

“Jason was everything ok while we were gone. Was there enough candy for all the kids?” asked my mom

?Uh yeah up until Mrs. Rudor came with her grandchildren.”

“Hmm that’s funny, I didn’t realize she had any family. She seems to be alone all the time.” said my dad

I went on telling them what had happened and of course they didn’t believe me until I told them what I heard during my last Halloween I relived.

“We never told you that. Jason you don’t know what you just experienced. You relived your Halloween’s past and experienced the joy of Halloween.” said my mom

“Yeah, I realized that.”

“Hey where you going Jason?” asked my dad as I was getting my coat.

“I hope Peter and Jamie don’t mind me taking a few pieces of candy to give Mrs. Rudor’s grandchildren.”

“Im sure they wont, what’s a few missing candy?”

I hurried down to her house and ran the doorbell. Which Mrs. Rudor answered.

“Aren’t a little old to be still trick or treating” she asked smiling a bit.

“Im sorry about before. Not having enough candy for your grandchildren. So I brought some over for them.”

“I see you learned your lesson during my little gift.”

“You call that a gift. I had relive some Halloween nightmares, including some time being a little baby and unborn!”

“You did relearn the Halloween spirit didn’t you?”

“I guess you are right but please never do that again. I don’t want to relive anymore of anything.”

“We will see, Christmas is coming up” said Mrs. Rudor with a huge grin on her face as she started laughing like a witch.

I quickly ran off getting as far as I could.

Mrs. Rudor stopped laughing and closed her door which had a sign that read:

“Happy Halloween!”
