Plot Blurb: There is a belief that on Halloween, any one who has died during the previous year is given grace… to say ‘good bye’.

Splash Page: “It was never your fault. Not my death, anyway…”

Joe closed his eyes and tilted his head up at the Halloween night sky, his jaw clenched in denial. Iola sighed, a distressed dove, and continued, her words whispered and kissed on the wind. “It was just my time…”

“Time?” the young man snorted bitterly, shaking his head and forcing his eyes back open. The sky was flawless – twinkling and blinking millions of little lights, October witnesses on a cold night. “How can I blame ‘time,’ Iola? Please, you have to give me something else, something I can fix or break – anything. ‘Time’… time didn’t put that bomb in my car.”

“And neither did you,” she gently reminded him, slipping her petite body into the space between Joe and the railing. He inhaled sharply as she pressed her face against his chest and wrapped her arms around him, holding on – almost for dear life, in death.

Special Notes: Thanks to JD for the beta ☺ . This is my Halloween contest 2006 submission.
