Halloween Stalker

While trick or treating in my black cat disguise I had an eerie feeling that I was being followed by a scary Jack-O-Lantern with glowing red eyes His pumpkin head had been cleverly hollowed He was ten steps behind me on every street My heartbeat accelerated. I panicked in fright Boldly, he ensued without trying to be discreet! I had to escape this stalker on Halloween night I hid among dense bushes of old run down house hoping he'd continue walking and leave me alone I held my breath, trying to be as quiet as a mouse when a whirring noise erupted from my cell phone A hand covered my mouth til I thought I'd smother. Then he said, "It's just me...Jack. Your big brother!" October 12, 2020 Halloween Fright ~ Sponsor: Carolyn Devonshire
