'Maybe she's upstairs.'
'Marion!'
No answer. It was quiet.
Louise cried out, 'Marion, Marion!'
'Turn on the lights,' said one of the adults.
The items stopped passing. The children and adults sat with the
witch's items in their hands.
'No.' Louise gasped. There was a scraping of her chair, wildly, in
the dark. 'No. Don't turn on the lights, oh, God, God, God, don't turn
them on, please, don't turn on the lights, don't!.Louise was shrieking
now. The entire cellar froze with the scream.
Nobody moved.
Everyone sat in the dark cellar, suspended in the suddenly frozen
task of this October game; the wind blew outside, banging the house,
the smell of pumpkins and apples filled the room with the smell of the
objects in their fingers while one boy cried, 'I'll go upstairs and
look!' and he ran upstairs hopefully and out around the house, four
times around the house, calling, 'Marion, Marion, Marion!' over and
over and at last coming slowly down the stairs into the waiting
breathing cellar and saying to the darkenss, 'I can't find her.'

Then ...... some idiot turned on the lights.
