The dread of October

The dread of October
Jose ‘JJ’ Balderas has a strong passion for creative writing and storytelling, drawing on his experience in college, acting and as an aspiring cartoonist. His passion for storytelling is crucial in his role covering the news, events and people in the Springtown area for the Springtown Epigraph and The Azle News.

For many years as a kid, I dreaded the whole month of October, especially Halloween night.

I originally had a love for Halloween.

Who doesn’t love dressing up in a costume and getting free candy?
