Trick or Treat

 

Written by ALLAN FEAR

             

Elie was sitting on that leather sofa, facing a large flat-screen TV that was showing a movie where young girls had fun on the streets in trick or treat that Halloween night.

              Blonde, thin, with a very well defined face like that of famous models, Elie stared at the scene of the film. Her eyes, a unique shade of blue-gray, seemed to sparkle.

              All Elie most wanted was to be a normal girl, to be able to go out and have fun with other kids that Halloween night.

              Poor Elie, she knew how beautiful she was, her body was just perfect, everyone was always enchanted by the sparkle of her sweet eyes. But she could not move, she would be able to change her beauty to have a normal life. She depended on other people for everything, that is to say, an invalid.

              "Why do I have to be like this?" - asked Elie in her thoughts, feeling envious of those smiling young women in the film. "Why can't I be like all the other girls?" - she asked herself. Not only anger, but dark hatred was building in his chest.

              Elie couldn't speak, couldn't move, was that the price to pay for being so beautiful? But what good was all that beauty to her if she was a nullity?

              -Are you enjoying the Halloween movie Elie? - asked Jessica entering the room and sitting next to Elie on the couch. The young girl wore a witch costume and carried a bag full of candy. -See how many sweets I got today, do you want some?

              Then Elie felt an obscure and powerful force, perhaps caused by her strong emotion, or perhaps it was the anger she felt as Halloween's midnight approached, and she managed to turn her face away and face Jessica who suddenly gained an expression of panic.

              -Ahhh!! Shouted Jessica, trying to get up from the couch. But she was grabbed by Elie's cold, hard hands. -Mother help, my doll is moving!!

              -No more watching TV, I don't want your cheap candy, you stupid girl!! - Elie's lips moved as she uttered those bitter, hateful words in a dismal and inhuman timbre, while her eyes flashed a devilish red glow. -Now we're going to play trick or t reat with your soul!!
