“Lin” Encounters A Friend
As Marbas, now disguised as “Lin”, skips along the sidewalk he spots what appears to be a 11-year-old german shepherd boy walking towards him, a quick rummage through Lin’s memories, he learns that this doggy-boy is… or rather… was Lin’s best friend Toby, Marbas grins as a thought pops into his head, Lin had always wanted a pet dog, well, since he and Toby are already best friends, why not grant HIMSELF that wish, after all: dogs are the man’s best friend, right?
“Hey Toby,” the wolf-boy calls out, waving happily.
Toby smiles, waving back as he hurries up to who he believes is his friend Lin, “hey Lin, I see you have been successful yourself,” he says as he looks at “Lin’s” full bag of candy.
“Lin” giggles, “ya, this year is the best haul ever,” he says, “hehe… I got so much candy that it’ll last for months!”
“Hehe… same here,” Toby says, “he… I should have brought more bags!”
Both laugh, “are you on your way home,” “Lin” then asks.
“Actually, I wanted to do a few more houses, the night is still young,” Toby says, “wanna join me?”
“Sure, I know a place where we could go,” the “wolf-boy” says.
“Let me guess? That creepy mansion on the hill?”
“Lin” grins, “yep,” he says.
“Nye… I don’t like that place, it gives me the creeps,” Toby says, shivering, “besides… I never seen the people who live there… it just feels… weird!”
“Oh come on,” “Lin” says, “it’ll be fine!”
“Okay, you’re the boss,” Toby replies, so the two start heading in the direction of the mansion.
