great story Bill, a nice spooky ending. it's also sad, and reminds me of my teens & early 20's. i was a teen in the '70s, and it seemed like just about everybody was drinking and druging. my town even had a nic-name "Hangover Park" (Hanover Park) there was always a huge party somewhere. too many parents let it happen and i lost several friends to AOD, drug OD and DUI car crashes. i have no idea how i survived, many times i drove home with one eye closed to kill the double vision. i just hope somewhere, there is a teen or early 20's that reads your story and subsequent comments, and makes the choice to not drink or do drugs.
