CARVED PUMPKIN
The night was sure perfect for Halloween.
Wind blowing through the windows dogs barking, and howling.
Shadows in the dark crossing in front of my windows.
I told myself it is only the trick or treaters.
I decide to put the kettle on to make a cup of tea. I thought it may calm me down. The whistle from the kettle scared me. I jumped with a gasp. My nerves were getting the best of me.
I gave a sigh of relief as I made my cup of tea.
The phone rang I answered it. I said hello no one answered me.
I said hello again. All I heard was breathing. I hung up. I was trying to reason with myself that it was the wrong number. I was headed
back to the kitchen.
Something caught my eye. I looked I was positive
I seen a man's shadow go by the window.
The wind started howling. The dogs across the way were barking
I'm alone, and I can't begin to tell you how frightened
I am. I never knew fear as I do at this moment.
I tried to calm down. I told myself how silly I was being.
At the moment I tried to convince myself I was acting silly. The door bell rang .
I about jumped out of my skin.
I heard
children saying trick or treat. Trick ,or treat. I smiled to myself
saying how silly and crazy I am. I grabbed the bowl of candy,
and force a smile on my face and opened the door.
To my surprise no one was at my door.
I really felt uneasy. The fear was so strong in me.
I was scared. I know what I heard.
I heard children calling out trick or treat.
That is when I noticed the pumpkin on my porch..Someone left it there. It was the
strangest pumpkin I ever saw. It was absolutely evil looking. I picked It up in brought it in the house. I didn't want it to frighten the little children.. Someone was playing a mean crank on me . I didn't find it funny. I found It scary. I'm going to try to find out why someone is playing this mean crank on me and why?
I sipped my tea I tried to calm down once more. I looked at the pumpkin. It was almost as if he was laughing at me. Something, felt so evil. I had such a terrible uneasy feeling. I decided to get rid of the pumpkin. I took it outside. I took a hammer and busted the pumpkin all up in small pieces . I threw It in the garbage. I felt so much better now. It was gone and I was feeling better ,and happy .
The wind was howling outside . It was really cold. I started to get really chilled.
I headed back to the house. I opened the door. I was happy to get back
to my tea ,and my warm house.
I thought about how happy I was to get rid of that pumpkin. How evil It was carved. How it looked. It was so scary to me. I was an adult. I can't begin to imagine how a child would feel seeing that scary pumpkin.
I turned the TV on to watch a movie . My phone rang. I jumped up so fast.
It might be my husband. He's been out of town on a business trip. I wish he were here with me right now.
I answered the phone. Someone, with a very deep and spooky voice said you, thought you've got rid of me. Oh, but you'll see differently. I hung the phone up before he finished saying what he wanted to. I was too frightened to listen. I felt like I would faint .. The cranks being played on me wasn't at all funny to me. I'm so scared. I live in the country where houses are far apart. Not many houses or people here.
The phone rang again and I picked it up. I heard the same deep, and scary voice say. Why did you try to destroy me? You realize you haven't don't you? You'll be seeing real soon that you haven't. He gave this wicked laugh ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaa. You thought you've got rid of me.. You fool!
I began to cry I was so scared. My legs felt weak. I had to sit down. I closed all my blinds. I called the police. They said they would be sending a policeman to check everything out .
I just hung up from the police when I heard on the news that most of the phone lines where down due to the wind. I was sitting trying to hear the report on TV when all of a sudden the lights went out. I felt my way around trying to find some candles. It was too dark I couldn't find any
I heard the front door open I didn't realize I've left it open. I was shaking so bad.
I heard someone call out hello. Are you OK? Can I help you? He said I'm a police Officer. With relief and a big sigh I said I'm out here in the kitchen I was looking for some candles. It is too dark out here to find any.
He said don't worry I came with my own candles. When I looked up at the candle light he was carrying . I screamed, and screamed.
There standing in front of me was that evil carved pumpkin that
I smashed. Only It was alive not a pumpkin. It was all lite up.
All you could hear was this awful deep evil laugh
He came for me .
Now I lay among the pumpkins in his own special patch.
Waiting here with an evil grin that isn't carved upon my face yet.
So you better BEWARE.
It may be the evil face you'll carve on your pumpkin this year.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I'm waiting for you..Hurry.
Happy Halloween ~~ BOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo
