It’s a Flash Story Special!

Remember Trick-or-Treating at that one house where the guy would sit on his porch and pretend to be a stuffed dummy before jumping out at you? Dustin recounts this feeling through “Bianca”, a nine-year-old in a pretty costume who gets more excitement than she bargained for on Halloween night.

Rated PG (some mature themes, but it’s just spooky fun!)

Happy Halloween!
