This originally started out as a one-shot for Halloween, but ended up taking a much different turn in my notes. The year it's set in is correct and is not an error.

I guess you could call this an "intermission" of sorts. The poem included here is something I wrote for the story, so the work is all my own. Hoping it doesn't disappoint. I used to write poetry a lot during my free periods between classes back in high school, but I haven't done it in years and might be a bit rusty there.

I was originally going to add a short epilogue to this story, but once I'd finished this chapter, I decided that it really wasn't necessary. I'd like to thank those of you who've followed, reviewed and "liked" to the very end.
