Halloween is like a horror movie, except with drunk teenagers instead of axe murders. It was about two years ago, when we were still living in Germany. It was a fairly peaceful Halloween night and the sun was about to set. My friends and I were walking around the village, what Germans call a town. After about half an hour of us walking around and talking, some acne filled, tall, muscular and older, German teenagers came up to us. By the loopiness and the gross, potent smell of alcohol in their breath we could tell that they had been drinking.
“Go away, you stupid kids” they said harshly in their heavy German accents.

However, we couldn't see them because at this point in time the sun had already set and that and it was foggy and a few of the street lights we out. Then we quickly we tried to think of how we could get away from them. Dylan found a rock on the ground and he threw it in their direction to scare them, but that didn't work, so, we hid for another half hour waiting, watching, and hoping that they weren't going to come beat us up.
They left after a while and we went to Dylan’s house and ate all the candy that we had picked up trick-or-treating. Michael and I ended up staying the night because it was around 11:30 when we got there.
We learned that night that if there is a sizeable group of drunk teenagers wanting you to leave and you’re not prepared for a fight then you should leave. The feeling of getting chased down by people that we didn’t even know and not knowing what to do is not a feeling that I want again. Next time, though, I will be ready to fight or we will just leave when they tell us
