From Painted Boots: "When I was younger, I thought the month following September was Halloween."
Chapter eight & nine take place, for the most part, during Tower County High's Halloween Dance. I remember school dances as being either really fun --- I was involved, and danced a lot --- or hideous, because I sat in some corner. I drew on my memories of my senior year dance, especially, when I wrote this chapter. That year my school hosted a Halloween dance during the last two class periods of the day. We could come to school dressed in costume (I was a witch) and they left the lunchroom lights on full blast while we danced.
As I recall, the whole thing was a bit of a bummer . . . .
