Trick or Treat! (Shouldn’t a question mark end that
phrase?)
Pagan believes have invaded in our psyche that the last
days in October to Nov 2 our dearly departed roam around and should be honored
with candles, flowers and all kinds of offerings.
Popular culture has corrupted such ideas of spirits,
ghosts, restless souls, hobgoblins and in turn, has turned them into evil
witches and macabre monsters that hunt us mercilessly and inexplicably beg for
candy on Halloween.
What if there are such entities which haunt us? But these only live in our minds and
pasts. Sure, some can be minor little
nuisances that can even make us laugh, and others, not so much. Wish they came with a previous warning, but
more often than not, they are caused by an unexpected trigger.
There are moments when I feel myself diverging between
the past as I am moving on forward. I would like to pretend that some of those
monsters didn’t exist, as their echoes still are heard in my head from time to
time. Hate it when they creep out and disturb my mind. Burying a past doesn’t
mean that it will seize to exist. (period)
