Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

Why did the worlds of entertainment and advertising decide to ruin the month of October?

I really like some things that come with October. Where I live, the trees turn orange and red and yellow. The temperatures drop to a point where I wear a light jacket in the morning. I love these things.

October ends with Halloween. That is nice, too. I like kids wearing costumes and coming to my door. A piece or two of candy is a very little charge for seeing child-like glee. I love it.

Nevertheless, I hate October. All the movie channels show “horror” movies or anything that slightly resembles horror. Most of it is just crummy. The advertisers slant all the commercials to horror theme of ghouls and goblins and such. This lasts for the entire month. I hate it.

Asking “why” does not good. Just bare it for a month. November will come one day.
