Happy Halloween - Mother and Father - Section One
In the darkened room they say silently. Their parents had told them to be quiet and they knew from experience that it was best not to disobey. So many times they had failed to listen to their parents often harsh demands and consequently drew the wrath of the two of them. There was no hope that one would be less cruel than the other, they were equal in the punishments they would dole out so the boys came to accept their fate.
Three little boys, cute as can be, all the neighbors said so. Always neatly dressed, they couldn't be otherwise. They were well behaved in school, heaven forbid if they weren't and their parents found out. Their classmates loved them too, but unfortunately the boys were not permitted to have friends over to their house, nor were they allowed to visit any homes of their school friends. Fortunately, despite the differences in their ages, the three of them got along very well with each other.
Adam, the oldest, was 13 with bright shiny red hair and blue eyes. Sam was 10 years old with dark brown hair and eyes. Bobby, the youngest was 7 with brown hair like Sam, but unlike Sam he had blue eyes. The three of them had a keen interest in history. All of them seemed to be especially interested in the wide range of tortures and means of execution throughout history. Considering their parents unabashed cruelty to the boys, they weren't surprised at the boys interest.
