Welcome back! Come in, come in. Make yourselves comfortable while I inflict upon you another Halloween themed Drabble!

But, before I do, I want to weigh in on the Permuted Press hijinks going on: don’t believe the rumors and BS being spread. Just don’t. I’ll have a full blog post addressing this issue on Monday, so stay tuned.

Now, on to tonight’s drabble!

Enjoy!

Then Please Stay

By

“The pumpkins screamed, man!” Horace shouted as he backed away from the front porch. “The damn things screamed when I tried to pick them up!”

“Dude, that’s the sound effects from across the street,” Bart frowned.

“You kids! Get away from my pumpkins!” the old woman screeched as she pushed open the screen door. “Go!”

“Help us!” three of the carved pumpkins screamed. “Help us!”

“Unless you want to join them,” the old woman sneered at the teenagers. “Then please stay.”

“Dude!” Bart said as he grabbed Horace’s arm. “We’re gone!”

“Told ya!” Horace cried as they turned and ran.

Cheers!
