I Love You, Pumpkin [50 Word Story]

in #fiftywords5 years ago

A child shrieks and runs down the sidewalk. Herald smiles and pats Nancy’s head. Cobwebs, bats, and skeletons litter the yard. They really outdid themselves this year.

“I love you, pumpkin,” Herald says.

He sets Nancy’s severed head down on the steps and goes to fetch some more Halloween candy.


Here is my morbid little take on @jayna's 50 word story challenge with the prompt pumpkin.

Thanks @ablaze, I can't seem to stay away for too long :)

Ack! This one made me jump back in alarm. Very creepy, but impactful, @cizzo!

Thanks @jayna!
Tis the season for creepy 🎃

Wow,

Good twist, well written, but I don't really go for morbid/horror tales... :O

😄😇😄
