Man Sees Demon

Someone’s standing there. Standing in the driveway, only about twenty-five yards away. It’s a child. It’s a child in a Halloween costume. Why on earth is he here? How did he get up here? He’s facing me, his arms resting at his sides. How is he glowing red? Fire engine red and glowing. Short yellowish horns, bare-chested, a pleasant expression on his face.
