Tristan Goes to Market
Three nights before All Hallow’s Day, a young man dressed all in white walked up a red brick path toward a high wall. He knocked on the door. A large creature opened the door, long of tooth and green of skin.
"Who goes there?"
"It is I, Tristan, seeking commerce."
The creature looked him up and down. It sniffed the air.
"We don’t admit your kind."
And the creature slammed the door in Tristan’s face. He turned around and trudged back down the path.
The next day, Tristan collected trifles and wisps of dreams that floated on the air. He overturned rocks and bought strange foods at a convenience store. He captured words in mason jars and gathered blue hair at a barbershop.
Two nights before All Hallow’s Day, a young man dressed all in white walked up a red brick path toward a high wall. He knocked on the door. A large creature opened the door, long of tooth and green of skin.
"Who goes there?"
"It is I, Tristan, seeking commerce. Tonight I have come prepared with items to trade."
The creature looked him up and down. It inspected the bag of assortments that Tristan carried. It sniffed the air.
"Do I smell chocolate?"
"Yes you do, good sir."
Tristan reached into his bag and handed a small wrapped chocolate to the creature. The creature popped the chocolate into its mouth and chewed hungrily, not even removing the wrapper.
"Tasty, but it is missing something. You still can’t come in."
Tristan tried to protest, but the creature slammed the door in his face. He turned around and trudged back down the path.
The next day, Tristan moped inside of his apartment. He did not know what the creature wanted. He decided to give up and go jogging instead. The setting sun provided a backdrop for his jog. He watched children running along house to house in costumes for candy. A larger boy ran into Tristan and dropped a bag he was carrying.
"Oh crap!" said the boy as he ran away.
Tristan picked up the bag and saw a small child crying off in the distance. He stopped. He could feel the emotion resonating off of the candy inside. Tristan smiled and ran off in the opposite direction.

"Who goes there?"
"It is I, Tristan, seeking commerce. Perhaps, tonight I can entice you to let me in."
The creature looked him up and down. It inspected the bag of candy that Tristan carried. It sniffed the air.
"Chocolate again?"
"Yes. But this is a special bag of candies. Try one. Perhaps it might be more to your liking."
Tristan reached into his bag and handed a small wrapped chocolate to the creature. The creature popped the chocolate into its mouth and chewed hungrily, not even removing the wrapper.
A tear ran down the creature’s face.
"It is delicious. You may enter. And as long as I guard the door, you may have entry when you bring me treats such as these."
Tristan handed the bag to the creature with a smile and walked into the market.
