Halloween Costumes Worn Early
Aunt Hazel was in Atlanta, Georgia, a
week before Halloween. She decided to go
shopping at the local dollar store, and all of the
employees were wearing costumes. At least, to
Aunt Hazel they were. In our modern society,
they could just have been some teenagers
wearing their regular assortment of beads,
chains, and license plates for earrings, but she
was sure they were costumes.
Thus it was that when she went from there
to the drug store to pick up her one week supply
of pills, the seven of which required a mortgage
on the farm to pay for, she had Halloween on
her mind. In addition, the price that she was
having to pay for the medicine was a frustration
burning deep within her.
