Comments: Prediction

As soon as I read the old man coming in, I was hoping to myself "Oooh, this better be a spooky old ghost man - if he's real I'm going to be disappointed". You didn't let me down, sir.

I love your Halloween stories! I'm just sad that I've been reading long enough to expect them :)

Good story!

Somehow I forget that you do this every year! Nicely done, although I did get tipped off somewhere around "Hal Holbrook."

Happy Halloween to all!! Great story, as usual.

I was half-way through before I remembered that you do this to me every Halloween. Nice one!

And Happy Halloween!

I love your ghost stories. Happy Halloween!
My daughter had our first grandchild one week ago, she named him Owen. I was pleased to immediately think of you and your Owen when they told us his name.

You got me! I have read forever and always forget about your Halloween stories until I "keep going". Love the story though!

Have fun with the kids tonight.

LOL! You got me. I should've known, considering the day. It was a cool story, though! :P

You had me wondering UNTIL you said there were five empty hospital beds. As if :P

Damn, you had me! However, I am very easily taken in, but kudos mr. cactus! Good Job!

When I get old(er) and my memory fades ( more ), I will remember this story without the happy Halloween part. That's because it is a beautiful story regardless. Nicely done, and man, why you don't write a book or something is beyond me. You clearly got stories to tell.
