    It's Halloween...and we're coming for him. 
    I'm not a fan of Halloween. I think it just gives people an excuse to reveal the freakier sides of themselves. And to be real, all that mess can remain locked away. 
    This year, though, my best friend has it in his head that I'm coming to this year's party with him. I don't like attending parties, much less Halloween parties. But to shut him up, I reluctantly agree. 
    I'm not expecting to experience the best night of life there with not just one, but two men in a committed relationship with each other. 
    And for them...one night isn't enough. They want more. 
    Question is...will I be able to handle being in a polygamous relationship?
