2024-10-31 “No Tricks, But A Few Treats” for Shay (born 2001)

Shay Ryder looked around the area where her latest Habit Housing project was located. It had seen better times. 

Halloween was a time in most places where joyful, costumed kids pour into the streets and go door to door to gather candy. Shay hoped it could be for the nearby area, too. 

During her most recent time shift to 1880, she had spent a good amount of time tutoring Devon. Something about that inclined her to call the Devon she knew in 2024. 

She had enlisted him to help her take bags of candy to 40 houses nearby and to spread the word that it was available for Trick-or-Treat. And they also gave out little kid costumes to around 50 kids. 

Shay got a group of volunteers arranged to be in the streets for a few hours later with lights and spare bags for the kids collecting needs. 

All of it, she thought, would spread a little joy. It would also build goodwill for Habitat Housing  No one needed to know that they had nothing to do with it.
