This is not a result that I ought to laugh at; nevertheless, I can't help but chuckle. The neighbor doesn't sound creepy so much as misguided, maybe headstrong and going his own way without listening to wiser advice. I also had to chuckle at the "pink BB" and in a not-chuckling aside--that reminds me of a very unpleasant individual I once knew who claimed that he wanted to shoot all the trick-or-treaters on Halloween. I hope that never happened, in that land long ago and far away.

Anyway, I quite enjoyed reading your story and I kind of resonate with the neighbor (creepy or not). Poor guy; he just couldn't win.

My favorite line: "As he, himself, is creepy, I thought this was most appropriate."

I would change "hoards" of trick-or-treaters to "hordes."

Thank you for a very enjoyable (and enlightening) account.
