Halloween (5)

This is going to be the last Halloween post, now. I decided to make this one special - it's a bit unusual, a fantasy scene, but I think you'll all enjoy it. However, as it's different, I've not included it on the list of other Halloween pieces.

This post is a little bit unusual, but for some reason, I thought it would be hot. I've listed it as a Halloween piece, due to the period costumes - which I happen to love at costume parties. I hope you enjoy this story, and be warned - I may not post tomorrow night. It all depends how my novel goes during the day. As always, please comment, or if you'd prefer to email me more privately, sec.circle@gmail.com.

Just then, he heard a giggle behind him - his latest conquest. The daughter of the one of the insufferably boring women that his mother insisted he invite to dinner.
