Here it is, my Halloween short story, a shivering tale, "Room 216A," for Scaretober this year! 

I hope you have a Happy Halloween. I hope you are warm, healthy, and safe. I hope you are with a person or people you love. If you trick-or-treat or ride a hayride or bob for apples or drink some cider with friends, or partake in some other form of Halloween merriment, I hope you have fun and enjoy it and don't become sick from it.

If you do not choose to go out, I hope you do something Halloween-y and fun inside with the members of your household or a loved one. Regardless, I wish you well and hope that Halloween 2020 brings you as much or more joy than always, despite the conditions the year has brought along with it. And, if my tale here, while not really  a Halloween one, while it is sort of  a ghost story, brings you entertainment and joy, then that will have made my Halloween a happy one. 

My best always,

T.D., Halloween 2020

Chapter III is here and ready to be read!

A couple of my friends read it and when I'd given it to them realized I'd committed a minor plot error. It's corrected for you, and I honestly don't know if my friends caught it, so I'll be interested to see if they do.

Anyway, enjoy, and Happy October 1st!
