After a long year of work, I decided to go on vacation to New York.
I travelled in autumn because it is the best season to know the city, during the Halloween celebration.
On Friday, October 31st, I was walking around the city and I wanted to go out to a nightclub where there was a Halloween party.
I bought a Harry Potter costume and got ready to go.
As I walked to the nightclub it started to rain. When I got to the door, I saw a boy in a cupid costume who was looking at me. I smiled back at him and he walked toward me so we went in and we talked and danced all night.
By the time we went out, it was raining. We walked together to his house because it was close. He was shivering because his costume had few accessories so I lent him my cape.
We arrived at the door of his house and we said goodbye with a kiss with the intention of seeing each other again.
The next day, I thought a lot about him and I decided to go to his house to see him.
I knocked on the door and an old lady opened the door. I asked her about a boy who lived there, but she told me that he was her son who died one year ago in a motorcycle accident.
I thought she was joking but the woman showed me some photographs and invited me to accompany her to the cemetery because that day was the anniversary of his death.
As we approached the tombstone, I could see that on top of it there was a little cupid statue.
And hanging there was Harry’s cloak that I had lent him the night before.
