The little boy's eyes shined in the dim light. He'd snuck into the kitchen and found where his parents had hidden his stash. Now Halloween would really begin.
He unwrapped piece after piece of candy and chocolate, and one by one devoured them. Soon there was nothing left but the trash and some crumbs. His tummy was round and full.
He went back to bed smiling. He knew he'd be sick in the morning. He always was. But it was worth it, for this moment now, this pure and perfect joy.
Plus it got him out of trouble with his parents. How could they punish a vomiting boy?
