I once strayed
from the
path of success
only to be
attacked by
a werewolf.
“To die,
to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to
meet
Freddy Krueger.”
— Wm. Shakespeare
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Thanks, Geo. Let us hallow all saints and absent friends.
Btw, the best treats are on Trefology Street at the intersection of Elm. But I’d keep a sharp eye out for a bard got up as a lumberjack with a goalie mask, so he can’t later claim, perchance in a dream, that he saw me first.

(1) “Two after midnight” is ambiguous. Is that two minutes after the stroke of midnight, or the fact that after midnight there were two living creatures on the path, you and the werewolf? Anyway, I just want to know whether the werewolf’s attack was successful, or whether you were able to escape unscathed from a hairy situation.
(2) Never sleep on Elm Street. Instead, take a midnight stroll on the path to success, the better to contemplate the full moon.

So if Shakespeare wrote those lines does that mean you wrote Hamlet? Happy Halloween! :D

I worked on an early draft that featured a talking pet dinosaur, which I think was cut out of the final version of Hamlet. Thanks, MM

Poor Shakespeare. So ahead of his time. His critics were always asking, “who is Freddy Krueger?”

They say, too, Shakespeare predicted the Kennedy assassination and the rock band, Blondie. It’s amazing what you can learn if you just make stuff up. Thanks, B

Even in the 1980s they seemed a little older than the average New Wave band, certainly, that would explain it.

Sadly, Shakespeare’s tragedies and comedies are very well-known, but his slasher-thrillers are tragically overlooked.
