Once upon a time in the bustling town of Pumpkinville, the spirit of Halloween was as luminous as the jack-o’-lanterns that lined its streets. It was deemed the spookiest yet safe haven for ghouls, fun-loving humans, and of course, mischievous children craving sugary treats.
Among them was Billy, the local scaremaster, unknown for his expert disguise skills. This Halloween, Billy decided to scare everyone out of their witch hats by dressing up as a peculiar old woman- who was rumored to haunt Pumpkinville’s abandoned cookie factory.
As Billy strutted pompously down the streets in the old woman’s garb, people indeed shrieked and fled. His plan and pride, both were working just fine, until he reached the cookie factory. There, in the flickering candlelight, he saw the actual “old woman” ghost, finishing off his leftover candy stash!
They say, from that Halloween night, Billy, the scaredy-cat now, insists he only saw a candy-loving rat, not a ghost. But the children of Pumpkinville sure know better. They chuckle, understanding that the scaremaster got a taste of his own fright-filled medicine – proving that even on Halloween, Karma can be a ‘Boo’!
