organic locally sourced halloween decor

Summary:

Halloween is always a good time to commit murder. It's much easier to hide the body in plain sight.
(Not that Shigaraki and Dabi are happy to clean up after the fact.)

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

“Unreal decorations, misters!”

The two men spun around. A boy stood in the parking lot, grinning.

Nobody spoke.

“…Thanks,” one said eventually. The other elbowed him sharply.

“Are you going to trick-or-treat too?”

They exchanged a look. The boy tilted his head.

“You know, we’re thinking about it.”

“Cool, see you around!” He ran off, beaming.

 

Dabi and Shigaraki looked down at Toga’s latest victim, and back at the boy.

“So does that kid not watch the news or something?”

“He’s like four, Handyman. The only thing that kid cares about is how much candy he’ll get tonight.”

Notes:

i rewrote this from a sample because i figured it'd be good practice for the flash fiction unit in my creative writing course
(also the mental image of shigaraki and dabi awkwardly talking to children on halloween, dead body in hand, was too good to pass up)
it took me so long to keep this under 100 words but it has been Achieved
thanks for reading!
