Ben Hope has a complicated relationship with holidays. They never seem to live up to the hype.
Christmas? Too stuffy, and too many relatives.
Easter? meh. Take it or leave it. Candy was always good but it was too much father son time for his liking.
But Halloween?
Halloween was the one he loved.
The anonymity of the costumes.
The drinking and lowered inhibitions (both his and the other party goers).
It was the one time of year where he allowed himself to relax, let loose and enjoy.
But this Halloween everything’s wrong.
All trick, no treat.
October is coming…
