It was late October the quiet time between a busy summer and hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Being just that me and the Mrs. Was enjoying I lazy day at home.
Then there's a knock at the door, not expecting anyone I assume it's some sort of sales call. I raise to answer it and there's a young man standing before me, his out reached hand contains an envelope.
This is for you sir he tells as he faces downward.
I thank him for it and close the door. It's beautiful, longhand written far fancier then my normal. Opening it I find an invitation to a Halloween party and although I don't know whom invited us I do now the address from its name. The Stark Mansion on Olive. This house was built by the family that settled the area in the early 1800's.
I didn't think much of it and set it aside as we continued watching the movie that we've already started.
After the show we share a light dinner together where my asks about the letter that came earlier. I told her the little I knew about it then asked, why would you want to go?
So with my wife interest I reread the invitation out loud. But reading further it reads to arrive by seven o'clock as none will allowed to enter afterward. So with the clock now reading six-thirty there's no time to buy costumes and make it across town to the party.
My wife's memory being far better than mine reminds me we still have the costumes from some years back, shoved in the back of the closet not seeing the light of day since.
Decision to go we scramble as fast as we can to meet the deadline. Now ready we make for the party dressed as two M&M's, she's the sexy green one and I'm the yellow. "The one with nuts."
We arrive and rush for the door, the same young man taking our invitation from us.
You just made it he tells as he closes and locks the door behind us. With the chime of the grandfather clock he announces to all that the doors are locked and will not be opened until first light.
Now is our first of many shocks the night when looking around we are the only ones in costume, all the others dressed to the nines.
A mature woman approaches us and taking our hands she asks us to follow as she makes the offer to find us something to wear. She leads us up the stairs and yo the master quarters, it's a large room with many nice things.
She opens the door to their walk-in closet, racks and racks of garments are before us. She asks us to remove our costumes so to change.
My wife is quick and now stands before both in her bra and matching panties. I'm slower to heed as I remember how hot those costumes were so under mine I'm as naked as a J-bird.
