trick or treat, monsieur?

{  send frank TRICK OR TREAT !  }

          all hallow’s eve.   a night in which the supernatural reigns supreme and the barrier between the living  &&  the dead becomes paper - thin  —  and so, it seems, has frank doyle’s privacy.   grumbling, stumbling, he makes his way across the penthouse suite to the front door, pausing with his hand on the doorknob.   ❝ do I get to choose the trick ? ❞ he calls out, his voice echoing off the walls of the vast foyer.   ❝ if so, I do believe I will choose for you to make yourself disappear ! ❞   when, after a prolonged moment of silence, he does not hear the sound of retreating footsteps, he opens the door with a heavy sigh.   ❝ why, if it isn’t  —  YOU ! ❞ he exclaims with feigned excitement.   where was sadie when he needed her to remind him of an acquaintance’s name ?   ❝ how wonderful to see you again ! …  probably … ❞   sadie would be horribly offended if he turned away one of their friends without giving her a treat.   but they didn’t keep candy in the house  —  it tended to attract children !  —  and he wasn’t about to part with one of their precious bottles of liquor, either.

think, doyle, think !   eyes blearily scan the room, passing over the liquor cabinet  —  and the portrait of the liquor cabinet, which they’d had lovingly commissioned just last month  —  until they land upon the perfect halloween gift for lovely what’s - her - name.   ❝ AHA !   I’ve just the thing ! ❞   he returns to her with an album in his hands.   the cover is gaudy, and bears as its standard a large, techni - colour accordion, beneath the title :   THE DECADE’S BEST IN POLKA.   ❝ we confiscated it from the ghost of a big band conductor ! ❞ he explains as he hands the young woman the treasure.   ❝ whenever you want an evening of privacy from your fake ghost,   play this album, and he won’t come within a hundred feet of you ! ❞
