The Joke was on me
Mystery packages thrill me I grew up in a rural area where our mail came to the post office which was about 2 and 1/2 blocks from our home. A few neighbors had actual mail boxes on the side of the road but most of us poor black and white folk used the post office. I loved walking there each day on behalf of my grandmother and peering through the small glass window of box number 64. I would turn the combination dial and the little glass door would open and I would get to take out whatever was inside.

Vocal Media is changing but I'm not going along for the ride
Remaining constant in a changing world My story is that I have been writing for Vocal Media for four and one-half years since April 2018. Things have gradually changed and that is normal because change is constant. Unfortunately, the changes have affected me and writers like me in a not so positive manner. During my first two years of writing for this platform, I had five or six stories that were featured and I was honored.

Terrifier 2: No thanks
Thanks but no thanks When I heard about all the people fainting and vomiting while watching Terrifier 2 I had to wonder what was going through the minds of those who created this film. Did they stop to consider that another Jeffrey Dahmer might be motivated by the gory scenes or did they even consider that someone might have a heart attack and die?

The mystery of the blond girl
A Halloween Mystery On October 31st, 2018, it was my first Halloween in this particular home. I purchased candy in case any children knocked on the door and I placed Bible tracks in each bag praying they would be read. About 20 children, (some with parents) showed up between 5:30 and about 7:50 so at 8:00 I shut the door but did not turn off the light.

Trunk or Treat for Halloween started in churches
Halloween has evolved in many ways In decades past children dressed up for Halloween and knocked on doors in their neighborhoods. When someone answered they shouted "Trick or treat." Today you rarely see children going door to door thanks to COVID and also out of concern for safety. In our modern culture Trunk or Treat is popular and just like Christmas and Easter, it began in church.
