Halloween is never the same on the cul-de-sac when the decorations are destroyed. Three neighbors have three very different reactions. Read on and enjoy.

And another 2 horrors. These have been so much fun to read.

Geez. I like my food imposters but umm, they still have to be food. 😮 Poor Frank. He just wanted to enjoy the holiday, not become a sacrifice for the holiday. That ending though demands one comment! More. loved it.

Twisted little tale. You cant help but feel for Ramon. He heard all the tales from his mother, but didn't listen to them. Now, it appears, he will pay the ultimate price for not following the rules. Mr. October has had the worst trick played on him. I just hope Griff and the Brujo get theirs.

As more and more people pissed off the old lady, they disappeared but a new pumpkin appeared in the display and it was still ten days until Halloween.

all mine!

Making spiced cupcakes today @Valkyrie. oh and the shiny is mine!

Tooth

There is

Granted, but all the fortunes read, your next fortune will contain ... ? I wish I could afford some time off.

What in God's green earth is Edward Forty Hands? Nope never played it. Never have I ever been to a different country?

Where's Wonder Woman?

Taxes

All Mine!

Aria is going to have some serious blowback from this from his Queen Bitch Mother. I fear what secrets Amara is still keeping. Just what has he done and sacrificed to keep his twin safe? Okay, maybe I can trust Alicia a bit. What on God's green earth did the doctor do to Aria all? I want his medical license pulled! Horrible individual.

And yet another two beautifully done tales. So worthy of a read, and we are only halfway to Halloween!

The yard decorated, check. The livingroom decorated, check. The kitchen decorated,- if it is more than Halloween towels get out, that's my sanctuary! Lol. Otherwise a very sweet and romantic Halloween tale. Loved it.

Red is no more and Boyd has returned. Nothing is as good for the heart and soul as finding yourself and moving on to where you need to be. Great story. Bye, Felicia. Oops, I meant bye, Hal.

Cupid

Nope. Never have I ever been married

I told you that I'd find you before dawn. Game over.

As a survivor, you have every right to feel angry. I'm glad you're seeking help. None of it was your fault. The results of this can be difficult to deal with, but just remember it wasn't your fault, it was his. @Valkyrie said it so well. I'm sorry you had to deal with this.

Halloween - gateway of the holidays. As a kid from the Northeast United States, the months of September, October, November, and December held very different meanings. September meant the end of summer and back to school. Classes were set, new lessons, everything scheduled. October meant autumn arrived. The colors changed, you got your heavier jacket. Schools would begin talking about the class Halloween party. You made plans to trick or treat with your friends. Mom would begin baking her desserts with apples and pumpkins and they had all sorts of spices. The yards were decorated with witches, ghosts, and skeletons. Horror movies and the first holiday cartoons would show. November first meant goodbye to scary as suddenly pictures of pilgrims, Indians, turkeys, and a cornucopia would appear. Conversations revolved around family you hadn't seen in a while coming for Thanksgiving, football season, and the Macy's Thanksgiving parade, which would start the Christmas season. That lead to Christmas. The day after Thanksgiving the malls became a winter wonderland. Santa sat to take pictures. Schools had art projects for Christmas and Hanukkah. You barely functioned waiting on the holiday parties in school. Now come September you'll find Halloween and Christmas both in the stores. Pumpkin spice coffee, muffins, and God only knows what else, is sold in every coffee shop and store beginning September first. November first pumpkin dies and Mint everything is out. The joy of each holiday is blended and the almighty dollar rules. Some still have Halloween parties, and there are pockets where the old joy of horror, scary, and fantasy still lie for kids, but in places it has become just gore or commercial. Some barely get out of their Halloween costume and the Christmas tree is up. Oh well.

Wow. Totally twisted tales and both authors went in vastly different directions. Makes me wonder what else is going to "pop up" as the rest of these are released. I, personally, can't wait.
