Huncho walks into his apartment everyday asking himself "how did this happen". What he's referring to is his apartment and how he ended up in this apartment, which he told himself he would never end up in as a kid. The raggedy, beat down, dark brown apartment building reminds him of his old man's house where unpleasant memories were made. It was halloween night and Huncho was at his old man's house excited to go trick or treating as early child should be. This halloween was different though because Huncho was with his dad......and this was their first halloween together.
"Are you ready son"? his dad asked
"Of course I am" Are you"? Huncho responded
"Son I'm always ready" his dad replied
Huncho and his dad went out into the young night. As they were trick or treating Huncho was as happy as a 10 year old boy could be. All of a sudden Huncho's dad gets a call....
"On my way" huncho's dad whispered into the phone
He turns around and tells Huncho "we have to go home son"
Of course Huncho is confused and upset. They begin there walk home when all of a sudden it starts raining. Keep in mind that it's October and semi cold and how cold and rain don't mix together. They get to the house and Huncho's dad says
"Son dad has to handle some business can you be a big boy and watch the house for me while I'm gone"?
"But it's halloween and I don't wanna be at home alone"
The dad says "son I love you and don't ever forget that and then disappears into the cold rainy night.
Huncho starts to cry as he's surrounded by darkness in his dad's dark brown somewhat beat up house. So when huncho walks into his apartment everyday all he can think of is that cold rainy night when his dad left him. Huncho wishes he could get rid of this bad memory so that he could actually enjoy living in the apartment he does.
