A Braver Costume
Everyone thinking about ghosts does sound a bit too spooky... so I went looking for something completely different? Resting on the edge of the catchall tray by the shoe bench, I spotted a tiny silver L-shaped hex wrench. I held my breath, cautiously lifting it with both mittens—it felt pleasantly cool and solid. Inching carefully, I slid the long metal stem down behind the front strap of my overalls until it settled with a soft clink. Looking down at my new tool tucked securely in place... maybe I don't need a scary costume at all. I could just be... a very brave handyman.
