If the carving wasn’t so fun, I’d skip it all and stay home. The pumpkins make me sweat. I have to surprise ’em, or else they are hard to carry.

I stare at their pretty costumes for a while. One wakes up and tries to run.
It is first. That pumpkin bites me several times, but I don’t let go until we are in the basement.
I start at the top. Have to slant the knife inward so the lid fits back right—by then they go into shock, so it makes it easy.
Eventually, they’re all smiling.
Time for candy.
Very creepy! Good work
Thank you!
Creepy, but humorous! A good combination.
I appreciate it.
You worry me! Did you make this up? Is it fiction?
haha Not to worry, I almost never go on premeditated murderous rampages for Halloween.
The use of “pumpkins” was a very interesting (and smart) choice. I liked this peek behind the eyes (mask?) of a slasher. Creepy and perfect for the Halloween season!
Thank you, John! (BTW, followed you.) _Mark
Nice use of words and fitting for the upcoming creepy holiday. LOL.
