Halloween 2025

[InvidiaRed]

Come my darlings its that time of the year.

The touch of fall tastes wind sweet on the desert air.

The Harvest precedes the frost and the scarecrows grow active in their migratory phase.

Aplenty is abound like the changes of the moon.

For wealth cannot be measured in dead metal and electric glyphs. 

Hark! The Heralds cry! To thy bounty's surplus.

Welcome to One and all and thy ambitions

   The RULES

• Keep your submission Under 50K
• Include all appropriate tags at the beginning of the story
• Horror/ Halloween/Festival theme
• Original  Fiction

May your roots draw deep beyond the frost

Your pursuers cramp before the butcher’s blade

The fairy rings open to hallowed halls.

The leaves begin to sing in autumnal hues. 

Experience is Fall’s true due!

Ack!  Run, hide, Halloween is nearly here!  (Whoever’s eating the calendar, please stop, time goes by fast enough as it is.)

Interregnum 

A police officer is notified by dispatch to check an abandoned mall on Halloween with a storm coming in.

I don’t think I have the bandwidth to write a story this year. Instead, I’ll write a poem titled, “You Were Warned.”

I’ll probably do Winter Holiday as Well if nobody else wishes to.
