Werewolf
At a Halloween costume parade, I suddenly spotted a familiar figure.I watched him with a she-wolf. They couldn't keep their hands off each other.The she-wolf was draped against him in a succubus costume that showed off her curves.The male wolf was dressed as a lord of Hell. His face was flushed, his body tense, and his hands gripped the she-wolf's waist tightly.The people around them laughed good-naturedly. I froze.That was my father, Elias Thorne, the stiff, conservative man who had rushed off to work late even on Halloween.I called him right away and kept my tone casual. "Dad, can you come pick me up in a little while?"His voice faltered for a moment, then returned to its usual warmth. "Sorry, sweetheart, I'm at the office working late. I can't come get you. When I get home tonight, I'll make you the apple pie you love."I didn't argue. I said yes like a good daughter and smiled into the phone.When the call ended, I let out a breath and walked toward the couple who should never have been together.
