Would Be Humorous Except
An army of vampires, this night’s parade. Paralyzed are the gawking present day minds. Mouths agape, rubbing eyes, a thought that there may be no escape. The sign out front would be humorous except it’s diabolical.
we will be feasting
this Halloween by moonlight

One couple hopes for an alien abduction, seems less threatening at the moment. A cautionary tale, for their wish has been granted. Down comes the ray, lifting them to a giant dinner plate. Trickery, the treat celebrated earlier in the week.
