Her name is Jingle and his name is Milo
and they have come home, just before Halloween like
they always do-
which is by sunset.
Only this year
their hometown is empty and the drive in where Milo asked Jingle to be his wife has fallen into disrepair and the food in the freezer at the Twilight is rotting away in the darkness
just like the rest of the town.
Milo follows Jingle through the empty streets and he is almost afraid to look at her, but he stops her and puts his hand on her shoulder and turns her around and she says, ” where is everybody Milo? “
And both of them stop and listen to the silence, waiting for an answer and the silence does not answer them back.
Not this time.
