A Seasonal Goulash

When I pulled up to the Halloween party at Eddie's house, I saw something jump onto the roof. I told Eddie it looked like a big dog with weird legs, but it was Halloween.

"Ha-ha! Nice try," he said.

By 3:OO AM, everyone else had crashed. I felt sick, so I went to the bathroom and locked the door. But, before my vomit could come, I fell asleep hunched over the toilet. When I woke up, I went to check on Eddie. I did not mean to add fresh bile to the stew of gnarled bone and gristle. Sorry Eddie.
