Halloween Story


Gather around and I will tell you a Halloween story. Come close so you can hear every...word.


Corpse With A Sweet Tooth


One night a corpse was dinning on worms and maggots deep under the ground when he found a wrapper. "Mmmm! What's this-sssss?" Hissing threw rotten lips while undoing the plastic paper with hands missing a finger or two. Pushed three ants and a spider into the candy, putting it in his mouth and started to chew. "Yum!" He said. "This is better than the turd I found last week!" Enjoying his treat right down to every little morsel, chewing smacking his teeth. "I got to find some more...of this delightful sweet gewy tasty stuff." Picking with bony fingers around the gaps in his mouth. "Yum. Yum, yummy!" So he started digging his way up! Up he dig and when he was almost to the surface, he heard the noise of stomping feet. Smelled the bags filled with candy and could hardly contain himself. And suddenly laid very still....waiting... for his chance to reach out of the ground and grab! Closer came the stomping of feet and the more he could smell that tasty treat. And when the time was right when he’d reach out! He stopped. "I remember now!" he said. "That's how! I ended up here way down in the ground. Someone grabbed me...when I had a bag of sweets."

Wow. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I see a very important message to this.
Interesting...I want to see what other people see here!

merlyn, I really enjoy your frank way of writing. As for a message, I sense one, but as of right now, I cannot point it out- I am slow today.

Nice work.
