Behind the Costume
"Trick or treat!" bellowed the young man enthusiastically, as Martha opened the door.
"Aren't you a little old?" she asked suspiciously, barely taking in the obviously home-made costume before noticing, and warily eyeing, the two gigantic heavies who flanked him on either side.
"I'm dressed as my Dad! He's an angel," cried the man, his face lit with an excited glow.
Martha watched in growing amusement as the man (a mere boy who seemed much younger than his apparent age, she decided) struggled to disentangle his outfit's unwieldy cardboard wings from the trailing ivy in the hanging basket by her door.
Escape complete, his face dropped somewhat as he added, "My momma always said he'd watch over me, and now she's with the angels, too."
"Jack," said the taller of the giant men softy, laying a huge, steadying hand on the young man's shoulder.
"I'm sure they'd both have been very proud of you," Martha sniffled, dropping several large handfuls of candy into Jack's collection bucket.
She turned to the embarrassed-looking carers who in any other situation she would have found threatening.
"You're good men, too," she nodded in understanding, near-tears, as she sneaked them both a chocolate bar each.
