THE UN-DOORSTOP

Footnote to Sunday’s story about the Pumpkinheads and the sleepy med student:

It was a Halloween night long, long ago. The ghosties and goblins were out in full force. One group in particular featured two tall dads and four little kids. It had gotten very cold and icy.

When they went up the steps of one small porch and rang the bell, the master of the castle opened the storm door outward, and the wind must have caught it.

It banged into one little ghost and knocked him all the way into the snow below.

Not a very nice trick . . . but it sure provides a funny treat in the telling, years and years later.
