Author's Note: A bit more Dia de las Muertas than Halloween, but enh.

Dusk, and two candles burned side by side in the church window. Cloud lit a third and set it in its holder by the others, a silver taper too-tall and awkward beside the black and pink pillars already spilling their light generously over the sill.

Harvest Night was supposed to be the night when ghosts walked the world to visit their loved ones. Cloud was not superstitious, but he knew better than most that hope came in strange forms. He kept his vigil by candlelight, and in their glow imagined that his own loved ones were coming to see him.

No points were awarded the previous two weeks and I just realized that I didn't post a prompt last Monday. I apologize for the. I was dealing with the loss of a furry friend.

This week's prompt is #120 - Halloween

Yes, Halloween! The tricks, the costumes, the parties, the candy!

Does Shinra host a Halloween Office Party (TM)? Is Cloud taking Denzel and Marlene trick-or-treating? Is Reno stuck at the door handing out candy? Is Zack in costume a full week prior to the date just for fun? Is Rude a little jumpy on a walk through at the haunted house attraction? Is Rufus having a difficult time finding just the right costume? Is yuffie stealing candy when no one is looking?

Enjoy the devilish fun, but just in 100 words!
