[And today in the journal, there is a handy little message posted in it, which reads thusly:]

[And, apros to nothing else, the Once-ler decides to dictate into this thing. He's been largely avoiding the journal since that...nightmare mess. But he feels enough time has passed that anyone who wanted to chew him out for his own dream will have done it already]

Okay. So I have some questions about Halloween. Actually, just one question, because we have Halloween where I come from too, but there's one thing that's throwing me. So there's candy right? That's cool, everyone loves candy. But you guys let your kids just...wander around willy nilly in the streets to collect it?

Because where I come from that would be seen pretty much as a sacrifice. Or at the very least tempting fate in a pretty big way. I mean not even my mom sent me out on Halloween and her parenting skills were questionable at best.

So just asking what's up with that and if any other worlds have a creature who opens up a portal to hell on Halloween night? I'm guessing not most of you, if you're sending your kids out. Though, you know, I could be wrong. You could all really hate your kids.
