I told…

of my friends and I decided to have lunch at a little restaurant called House of Tricks. It is really close to ASU and we just got out of a class after a very long day, and we were starving. I have always wanted to try it because I have walked past it many times, and it always looked like a nice place to eat. House of Tricks was named that, for two reasons.

Trick or Treated By D. H. Lewis Grace never liked Halloween, not since the dark thing knocked on her door five years ago. Most people only worried about their house being egged or TP'ed, but Grace had more to worry about than a prankster’s mess. Her father's laugh echoed throughout the house. Her daughter Shelley giggled. The man possessed an impressive repertoire of jokes, both good and bad. Shelley had dressed as a clown this year. Last year it was a princess. Shelley liked the dress-up,…

Halloween and prom, are both very important nights for young boys and girls. While both are extremely different, they share similarities as well.

every year for Halloween, which totals up to a whopping 1.9 billion dollars. Kids around the world are enjoying the fun of it yearly, which is great in my opinion.
