Saturday morning was bright and sunny, a cool October day. Kelly made Ben eggs and toast and watched him eat happily. Kelly said, «You know, Benny-boy, a woman did get hurt at the train station yesterday. She actually got hit by a train. Isn't that strange?» She looked at Ben. Ben said, «What do you mean, Mom?» Kelly said, «Well, you and Wallace were playing that game yesterday. About being at a train station. You said he threw a woman off the platform, and she was killed by a train.» Kelly felt like a fool even saying the words. She was speaking to a ten-year-old who had been playing an imaginary game with another ten-year-old. What was she thinking? Ben said, «I said we played that yesterday? No, we played that a few days ago. It was just a really good game, really intense. Yesterday we played pirates. I got to be Captain Frank on the pirate ship, the Argh. Wallace was Davey, the first mate. But he tried to rebel and take over the ship so I made him walk the plank. Davey walked off into the sea and drowned. Wallace told me I had to order him to walk the plank. He said that's what evil pirates do.» Kelly said, «I guess he's right. I don't know any pirates, but I do hear they're pretty evil!» Ben said, «So can I play with Wallace today when you are doing your errands? I don't want to go shopping and putting up Halloween decorations.» Kelly said, «Oh, whatever. I'll pick you up at Wallace's house at about five-thirty, so you can get ready for trick or treating. Where does he live again?» Ben said, «Graves-End Road. I don't know the street number but there are only two houses on each side. His is the second one on the left.» Kelly said, «OK. Do you still want me to pick up a ghost costume for you?» Ben said, «Yep. Wallace says he's a ghost, too! I suppose we'll haunt the neighborhood together.»
