Weird Wood

Some people don’t hike through the wood, especially on All Hallows Eve. Ghosts of boys and girls of good float at the campfire, if you believe. Elves and pixies dance through the trees, with taunting, mocking, and leering. They swing and sway in the brash breeze, their faces frighteningly jeering. What was that? The crack in the wind unleashes demons and banshees! Their hideous yowling will send even the bravest to their knees. Ghosts and goblins arise from their graves, harmonize in a cacophonous chant. Don’t try to hide in the darkened caves. They’ll find you in their raucous rant. They’ll steal your bones with giggling glee and make toothpicks with your ribs. Quickly now, turn. Run, and flee before they find you and call out “Dibs!”
