Just Desert
It was Halloween night. Everyone was wearing costumes and was trick-or-treating. But one house wasn't quite in the spirit. That was 24 Linden Ln.
"Hey Joe," Robby said. Joe and Robby were brothers both 10 year old brothers. Their buckets were full of candy, and they had just passed the enchanted house.
"Yeah Robby?"
"How come no one visits 24 linden Ln."
"Because there's no one to visit."
"What?"
"Well, back a long time ago, there was a pumpkin. Not just any old pumpkin, but a cursed one. the previous owner of the house, without knowing, bought the pumpkin brought it home."
"What happened next?"
"The owner was going to cut the pumpkin into make a jack-o-lantern, but the pumpkin resisted. Once the knife mad contact, the owner vanished, leaving a small scar on the evil pumpkin. All anyone found was the knife lying on the ground, while the pumpkin sat on the table. Since then, no one dared to come close to the pumpkin."
Robby shuddered, "That's creepy."
"I know," Joe said with a smile. "Let's go touch it."
"Are you crazy!" Robby jumped. "After that story I'd never even think about it."
"Com'on Robby, let's go. Just a poke."
Robby was sweating like mad. "Ok, b-but as long as y-you touch the pumpkin f-first."
"Wussy."
They went to the haunted house. Like Robby said, Joe, touched the pumpkin first. And like the story, Joe vanished too.
It doesn't feel like this story is complete.
