A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A young red-haired boy at a doorstep says "Trick or treat," and a man answers, "I don't get it. What are you?" Panel 2: The boy, deadpan, replies, "I'm just a kid. I'm not trying to scare you. Only people who retain hope are capable of fear." Panel 3: The man stands silent with a single tear sliding down his cheek. Panel 4: The boy says, "Chocolate my bag, watch me smile, and you'll get a whiff of an echo of wistfulness for the days when things mattered to you." In silhouette, the man pours candy into the bag, crying out, "Take it! Take it all!" Votey: A close-up of a wide-eyed man's face, mouth open mid-shout, yelling "Eat boy eat!"
