It leads to the backyard, and when I get there Lucas and Theo are sitting at the table, each with a margarita. “What did Camille send!?” Lucas asks the second he sees what’s in my hands. “Pumpkin snickerdoodles.” “In May!?” Lucas’ eyes widen. “That’s what I said. Apparently, it’s because we graduated.” “Give it up,” Lucas says holding his hands out. “Keep them away from me,” Theo says. “Every time your mom sends a batch of something, I end up five pounds heavier.” “Who said I was sharing?” Lucas jokes as he lifts the plastic. “Margaritas and pumpkin cookies, we’re kind of mixing vibes here.” “Who cares?” Lucas says through a mouthful.

Cheryl nodded. "The witch is very far away. In the past, there was a beautiful princess from the kingdom of Onion who wanted to wash gold in the river. The Princess met a pumpkin, in the shape of gold too, the Princess took the pumpkin to eat, mistaking it for Halloween." "Then continue." Faaza urged. Meanwhile, Cheryl had to rack her brain again because of her original composition. "Do you know Halloween? Uh, it's scary. They like to bite small children, but their teeth are toothless hihi."

Once that was done, we each kissed her wrinkled cheek and said our goodbyes before we headed down the road once again. The sun was setting as we got to the school which had been transformed over the afternoon into a haunted building. Carved Jack-o-lanterns lit the way up the front steps and a skeleton guarded the entrance, moving occasionally to block the door with an extended arm which had been artfully shifted with an attached wire. We placed our tickets into a bucket at the skeleton’s feet, making sure that the person who manned the skeleton could see that we had bought tickets before we were allowed in. The hallway was littered with cobwebs and arms were attached to lockers, making it s

The fairgrounds were already packed full by the time I arrived at the Halloween fair the next day. The air smelled like kettle corn and apple cider, and all I could hear above the din of excited students and screaming children was the sound of rides and Carnys trying to sell their rigged games. Ahead of me, a man on stilts dressed as the Grim Reaper terrorized a gaggle of children, and a woman dressed in a skimpy clown costume juggled bowling pins while passersby tossed coins into her hat on the ground.

But, no matter how hard he convinces himself, the fear of losing his only son haunts him constantly. When the visiting hour is up, Larry came home with a bottle of cheap rum. He drunk everything even though he doesn't really know how to drink alcoholic beverages. Even when he was young, he never really learned how to be a cool kid. --------------------- "Hello, Mr. Swanson. Good evening!" One of the high school student greeted Robert when he entered the Sunnyville Milkshake shop. He was about to grab some dinner when he saw the bullies drinking milkshakes together. They are all having fun after classes, all while one of the schoolmates is in the hospital.

he said, completely serious, "you must remove the brains." Abby giggled so hard she almost dropped the spoon she was holding. We each chose a pumpkin. William helped Abby draw a goofy face on hers—one big eye, one small eye, and a toothy grin. She insisted on scooping out the insides herself, and by the end, there were pumpkin seeds in her hair and strings of pulp stuck to her cheeks. I carved a classic triangle-eyes, triangle-nose design—simple, but not bad considering how long it had been.

I needed an assistant, and I knew Hunter would be all too happy that it was someone from his pack. But before I could offer her anything, I had to speak to him first. We found the box of decorations and Miss Sally’s old lab skeleton she kept around specifically for Halloween and dragged it all out to the front of the store. We waved at the people walking by as we set up and started to build the window scene. It was nice to have the company to help me and by the time we were done and stood back to look at our creation I was feeling happy.

he hands me the plate of lettuce I just asked for. "I'll do my best," and that's all I can promise because I haven't had them for so long. "I'll keep giving them to you, until you're used to it." Somehow I don't think I'll ever be used to it. ****** We're camped out in the living room watching the Charlie Brown Halloween movie, all full, and worn out from dinner and carving pumpkins. Those pumpkins now sit proudly on Trick's stairs, and I've had to promise Riley we'll come back and look at them every couple of days until Halloween. We didn't make it outside to do S'mores, we're all wiped.

One of them toppled off of the truck and rolled to where Jake was standing. He took a moment to look at it with its carved out eyes and mouth designed to give a demonic appearance but this looked as if it was grinning at him, mocking him. You fucking idiot! Why do you hate Halloween! Don't worry, the pumpkin didn't speak but it might as well have as Jake looked at it from a different angle and thought it could actually be in a world of pain. One that humans had no idea about. How I miss the days when all you had to worry about was going down some hungry human's throat and now I'm being cut up like a freak!

KALEO Hanging the pumpkin shaped bucket on the handle, i breathed in the humid morning air. "Happy halloween, Kaleo" The youngest of our nearby neighbors, Jake yelled from the porch of his fancied bungalow. "Happy halloween, the Carsons" I yelled back with a flash of a smile. "There" I whispered as I finished the touches of the home made pumpkins. "Happy halloween, love" His shill whisper pierced my ear as his arms wrapped around mine, staining my bright red dress. "Eww, your dirty" I said, taking his hands of my clothes.
