HALLOWEEN NIGHTMARE

People would suspect
It was only an accident
All Hallows' Eve
Perfect night to deceive

Unable to recognize 
The face behind the mask 
Wide-eyed and naive 
She fitly fell into his trap

For only an instant
She caught a quick glimpse
Into the familiar evil eyes
Who would soon take her life

Far too weak to break free
Suddenly blindfolded so she could not see
One stab, two stab, then three
As blood covered her entire body

Hands bound behind her back
Duct tape covered her mouth
Unable to move or scream 
He tossed her into a murky stream

After his mission was complete 
He removed evidence from the scene
Took his two boys around the street
Smiling as they said trick or treat
