Halloween Quatrain I: A Horror Short Story

Levi is a cantankerous old man who hates Halloween. He decides this is the year to give the neighborhood a giant F U for what he perceives as slights against him.

The neighborhood children run across his precious lawn, littering all the way. One of the neighborhood children allows their dog to do their business on the lawn and doesn't clean up after them.

That's right, it's all about a lawn. Levi pours his entire life, every single season, into the lawn.

So back to Halloween. Levi decides to be a jerk and everyone else lets him know how they feel about it.
