100 WC 29/10/18 … because I said so…

“Mom!” She screeched down the up the stairs.
“No Natalie you are not going!” replied her mother firmly already knowing what she was going to ask.
“Ughh!” she cried “all of my friends are going.”
“Well, does it look like I am letting you go? she challenged, “no, so quit asking”
“But Mom, why not? Natalie persisted, “it is only Halloween around the neighborhood with my friends”
“Because I said so” she with finalty.
“But—” She whined.
“No” she said as she walk away.
But Natalie knew her mum couldn’t stop her if she didn’t know she was gone.

So that night she opened her window and climbed out. The street was packed with costumes ranging from monsters to pirates to princess. She slipped into the crowd and she knew there was nothing her mother could do about it now.
When Natalie got home her mother was waiting for her with the police panicked. Natalie was never the same after that night but she never said why.

… we seemed to be on the television… My heart raced and I had to stop myself nervously drumming my fingers on my legs. It wasn’t our fault ...
