why do you ask?”
    “ Nothing? But it was all a mistake. There was no zombie in the basement.”
    Ricky smiled. “I think I would disagree with you on that one. In fact, there’s more monsters in that basement than either one of us could have known was possible. It doesn’t matter if they were made of wax, they’re still real. We went looking for a zombie and we found one; end of story.”
    Eric pouted as he gave that some thought, but in the end he couldn’t deny that Ricky was right.
    “ Okay, you win, Ricky. You said you saw a zombie and I guess you did.”
    “ Yeah, I did, and best of all, we found out that Mr. Rollin is a nice old man. It just goes to show you how you can’t judge someone without really knowing them. You know, like actually talking to them. We all thought he was a mean old man and all he was is lonely.”
    “ Yeah,” Eric said. “I guess you’re right.”
    Ricky patted his friend on the shoulder. “Hey, don’t worry about it, when you get as old as I am you just know more.”
    Eric frowned deeply. “Older? Ricky, you’re three days older than me. Our birthdays are like, days apart.”
    “ Exactly, but mine is still before yours which makes me older.”
    Eric wasn’t taking this lying down. This had been something of a contention between them for as long as they had been friends. Ricky loved to play the elder card on him.
    As the moon rose into the night sky, and the boys argued playfully back and forth over who was older, the same owl, now back in its favorite tree, swiveled its head to watch the two boys from across the street.
    Finally it grew bored with the two boys’ antics and it flew off for better hunting grounds.
