I had just moved to a new town, hoping for a fresh start,
but my neighbor Catherine ruined everything. She constantly complained and even stole my Halloween decorations. Determined to catch her, I set up a camera. What I discovered was shocking: a young boy, not Catherine, had taken my things.
I followed him to an abandoned house and found him and his little sister. They had run away from their foster home. Instead of calling the police, I took them in. Days turned into weeks, and I grew attached. Eventually, I filed for custody. On Halloween, Catherine tried to cause trouble again, but by then, these kids were already my family.
That night, I decided to adopt them, and from then on, I never spent another holiday alone.
