Lights went out on Halloween night

What a bummer! I drove through pouring rain from work to be home to hand out candies to the little ghosts, and goblins, and angels, and turtles, and ... The traffic was bad, the lights were out in the neighborhood, and the rain was still coming down. There was no doorbell, no "trick or treat". I was disappointed. For once I did not even put on my gear (the native American headdress, face paint,...). I ate something in the dark. In 30 some years I do not recall ever having rain on a Halloween night, not to speak of ghostly darkness. The bowl of candy sat there near the front door waiting and waiting. Finally, lights came on, the jack-o-lanterns came to life, rain subsided and I heard the doorbells. A few shy little angels showed up accompanied by their parents. The Halloween night wasn't totally wasted after all. Now, we shall wait for one whole year.
