He "was a ghost" as in He was generally unnoticed? moved quietly? was easily forgotten? was easily overlooked? lacked physical presence? was a "ghost-writer?" is never around? is scary? He = human? animal? other? He = adult? child? ageless? He = male? relevant? Other(s) for whom it was a good thing he was a ghost = human? animal? other?; relevant? How many others relevant? | ||

I got a rock. Did his being dressed as a ghost lead someone else to do something good for him? To not do something bad? Was he able to use the costume itself in some way (e. g. he found himself in dire need of a bedsheet or something)? Did he unknowingly wander into a KKK meeting? | ||

Was he (ironically) more easily seen because he was dressed as a ghost (white) and therefore was not, sya, hit by a car? | ||

His costume: one of the cheap Casper the Friendly Ghost costumes? (Basically a printed jumpsuit and a plastic mask.) Mask relevant? Was what he was wearing not a ghost costume as such, but he was dressed as "the ghost of someone" (eg. a Cavalier outfit and he was "Nearly Headless Nick", or a colonial outfit and he was "the Headless Horseman".) The adult: Any relation? if so, relationship relevant? if so: his mother? older sister? aunt? cousin? friend of his? friend of his parents? She herself important? or just that there was an adult present? Was she taking him trick or treating? Is where he was trick or treating relevant? if yes, in a neighborhood? a suburb? a mall? an apartment building or complex? somewhere else? Were they walking from house to house? driving from location to location? Her not being in costume: lack of entire costume itself relevant? lack of mask? Was she easily recognizeable? if so relevant? Or just that she was in normal clothes? (Was she just in normal street clothes?) | ||

Was the boy at her door at her residence trick-or-treating? The date was Oct. 31? and she didn't know it was Halloween? Is the time period relevant? Is the location relevant? Is this before Halloween and trick-or-treating became "traditions" (for lack of a better term)? Is she new to the country or area she now lives in, and isn't familiar with Halloween or it's "traditions"? Did the boy (and his family) move to a country or area where Halloween isn't, ummm, "celebrated", as it was where he moved from? |
