It was the morning of Halloween when Rhonda opened up her kitchen door, walked in and started cleaning. The boys had made a proper mess of things. Dishes were piled up, the margarine had been left on the counter and the bananas were so dotted with black and brown spots that they could barely be considered edible. And what was that horrible smell?612Please respect copyright.PENANATgNbofvoaM

Rhonda sighed as she changed the garbage sack. There was a wicked crick in her neck and her back hurt. Such is the price of getting old she thought to herself. She took the trash out and threw it in the rubbish bin. 612Please respect copyright.PENANAgK5H303dHw

612Please respect copyright.PENANAFBs0m7X5OT
Mrs. Wiggins, from across the street, was doing the exact same thing. She had a gaggle of boys, too. Mrs. Wiggins was dressed in a baby blue bathrobe and slippers. She hadn't quite gotten her day going from the looks of it. 612Please respect copyright.PENANANmt0JWtlnt

“Hello, Regina,” Rhonda said. “How’s Henry and Matthew?” Henry and Matthew were her two boys. They went to the same school as her Johnny, Mikey and Billy. They played football together and got on very well. So well that their families had spent many a summer day together having barbecues and swim sessions in the Wiggins’ pool. 612Please respect copyright.PENANAgYFs3vbwnh

612Please respect copyright.PENANAf408vi3GxS
Much to her dismay, Mrs. Wiggins didn't return her cordial greeting. Mrs. Wiggins dropped the trash bag she was holding and it split open and spilled rubbish onto the sidewalk. 612Please respect copyright.PENANApbwMjjK17s

Regina Wiggins whimpered and ran back into her house with a look of terror on her face. “How very rude,” Rhonda said, but then she thought better of it. “Don't be judgmental,” she muttered to herself.612Please respect copyright.PENANAPtCc1mbIE9
612Please respect copyright.PENANAMSJ4PIOcuF
612Please respect copyright.PENANAc5YcefDyaJ
She remembered that Regina suffered from IBS. Irritable Bowel Syndrome. When she felt the need to run to the bathroom she had to go right away or an unfortunate accident was sure to follow. The IBS had taken it’s toll on her poor neighbor. Aged her prematurely. 612Please respect copyright.PENANAtbEXqZoePd
612Please respect copyright.PENANAeoGk9IrOKY
612Please respect copyright.PENANAZKBWXAszfH
Being the good neighbor that she was, Rhonda cleaned up the trash that Regina had spilled onto the sidewalk. She decided that she would bring Regina a nice cup of tea later and find out if she was all right. But not until she finished cleaning that dreadful kitchen.612Please respect copyright.PENANAFRzt7TC4TL
612Please respect copyright.PENANA8bSb5cGLxL
612Please respect copyright.PENANAHn6EEmxOaG
She filled the sink with suds and water and began cleaning the dishes. Most of he kitchen had been put back in order, but there was still a dreadful smell coming from something. One of the boys had probably dropped a piece of fruit behind the trash can. It wasn't unusual. 612Please respect copyright.PENANAS440qWPulk
612Please respect copyright.PENANAIIKDfxFIYI
612Please respect copyright.PENANAOlaMpRn99O
The clinking and clanking from her cleaning of the dishes awoke her husband Eddie. Eddie walked into the kitchen and he paused at the door. He looked at Rhonda for what seemed an eternity, but was actually no more than a few seconds. 612Please respect copyright.PENANABFSCpLiCUG
612Please respect copyright.PENANA9lASrpvYkh
612Please respect copyright.PENANA9pSF261Hq4
The look on his face was one of bewilderment and worry. “Well hello to you, too, dear,” Rhonda said. “Are you hungry?” she asked. “Have a seat and I'll make you a bite.”612Please respect copyright.PENANAU07dwzWdAe
612Please respect copyright.PENANAKdYmyOInOL

Eddie stood there in his boxers and white tee shirt intently watching his wife of twenty seven years. His eyes were wide and his wispy, white hair was out of place. He took a step backwards. 612Please respect copyright.PENANA101SxX4Z9m
612Please respect copyright.PENANAQisYzhG4ni
612Please respect copyright.PENANAdFOUrLzSXx
“Sit down if you want some breakfast, Eddie,” Rhonda said again. Eddie took a step forward and paused. He took another sheepish step. “Sit down, you unusual man,” she instructed him again. 612Please respect copyright.PENANAjswS1K2ZhQ
612Please respect copyright.PENANAfNRnptSFAm
612Please respect copyright.PENANAUkSIZ2Tuz1
Eddie pulled a chair out and sat at the table. Eddie’s eyes never left Rhonda as she stepped over to him, bent down and kissed him on the forehead. Eddie’s brow wrinkled in horror and confusion.612Please respect copyright.PENANAVgISOZr0yP

Rhonda grabbed a skillet that she had just washed and sat it on the stove. She walked to the refrigerator and shook her head when she opened it. “My word,” she said. “I really need to go grocery shopping. It's as bare as bones in the ice box.”612Please respect copyright.PENANAot7kxmvs5T
612Please respect copyright.PENANAK0lRbgrdvq
612Please respect copyright.PENANAEtOWUIIPmL
She pulled out an egg carton and opened it. There were only two of them in it. Clicking her tongue, she took the two eggs and sat them next to the skillet. She ignited the burner and put a wee bit of olive oil into the skillet. Before long the two eggs were sizzling.612Please respect copyright.PENANA6NVDgaTvmx

612Please respect copyright.PENANAtFPhoRGEfK
“I would make you some toast, but it seems we are out of bread,” she said. Eddie watched her in silence. When the eggs were finished she dished them onto a plate and sat them in front of her husband. He just stared down at plate of eggs. Every now and then he would look up at his wife, who was now sitting across from him.612Please respect copyright.PENANAuWQB6kpIrG

612Please respect copyright.PENANAH3Qx0V9Ga4
Eddie shook his head. “Thank you, dear,” he replied. “And good… good morning.” He picked up his fork and began to put small bites into his mouth. He chewed, but all the while he never took his eyes off of Rhonda. 612Please respect copyright.PENANAI5E1AZ3Orz

She searched the kitchen for a few minutes. Her husband stared at her the whole time. His look of worry turned to one of wonder. Then his wonder turned to seriousness. His eyes hung on the floor while she searched for what was rotten. 612Please respect copyright.PENANAAFcWx6nfVq

Rhonda grabbed the small pad that sat on top of the refrigerator and grabbed a pen. She started making a shopping list. “Is there anything you need from the market? Razors? A new toothbrush?” she asked. 612Please respect copyright.PENANA6Uqd6h9QyE

612Please respect copyright.PENANAEL0doMOh37
This time she slammed the yellow pad she was writing on down on the counter. “Enough with this nonsense, Eddie!” she declared. “I have enough to do without you adding to the list with your foolish pranks! I need to go to the market and get groceries and Halloween candy for the kids in the neighborhood. Now are you going to make yourself useful and help me or are you going to sit there and continue to be a horse’s ass?”612Please respect copyright.PENANAGrWxZ0plBw

Finally finding the courage, he stood up and walked over to his wife. He gently put his hand on her shoulders and turned her around to face him. “Babe,” he said quietly, “you've been dead for twelve years.”612Please respect copyright.PENANA08W97dbTMN

She put her pad down and sat the pen on top of it. What was he saying to her? Then suddenly it came back to her. Just like Eddie had said, she had been driving to the market after dropping off the boys and a van came out of nowhere and hit her station wagon. Then there was nothing but blackness. Until earlier when she walked into the kitchen. 612Please respect copyright.PENANAinpRqtX2zh

Pulling out a chair for his wife, Eddie sat her down and then sat on the edge of the table. She looked confused. Almost as confused as Eddie did. “Okay,” she said in barely a whisper. “Okay. Will you help me find what that horrible smell is, Eddie? And then I'll go back to where I came from.”612Please respect copyright.PENANAVha74VTBI2
612Please respect copyright.PENANAiPofvSbCqA

Billy opened the back door and motioned for her to follow him. Holding Mikey’s hand all the while, she did. The four of them walked out into the back yard. Under a tall tree there was a hole dug in the ground. There was a wooden cross at the head of the hole. “That's where you came from, ma,” Mikey said to her. 612Please respect copyright.PENANANNFynNrTEG

Mikey turned his father a half turn and nodded towards the east end of their back yard. A hole, not unlike the one Rhonda has come from sat there waiting. “It happens every year, pa,” Mikey replied. “We don't know why, but it does.”612Please respect copyright.PENANAKxBbQlYEIt
612Please respect copyright.PENANAYf0iyD749V
612Please respect copyright.PENANAlw9cxhhydi

“It's true, pa,” Mikey said. He put his arm around his father’s shoulders and led him to the hole. “Every year on Halloween you and ma both come back. We don't know why. You just do. And we don't know why you aren't rotten. We can't figure that out.”612Please respect copyright.PENANAuw6f4dIlfW
612Please respect copyright.PENANA01Hhl2fX59

The boys took their shovels and dug the grave while their father watched. When it was finished Eddie walked over to it and said, “I guess I'll see you next year,” he and the boys both laughed uncomfortably and Eddie jumped into the hole they had dug. As soon as his feet touched the dirt of the grave his body fell limp and lifeless once again. For another year at least. 612Please respect copyright.PENANACCvvRDkYVg
