The Lost Treats

Paula loaded the house with sweets.

Children heard tell of this.

Her husband scoffed them all before the big night.

Paula only learned after she opened the door to some masked bandits.

They egged her and the house and the cat and also kicked over the bin.

Sweet wrappers fluttered out the door and scattered across the street.

Her husband cowered.

Paula was furious.

She made him go outside in his pyjamas and handle the mess.
