On a murky Halloween night, in the remote village of Oakwood Hollow, an eerie mansion stood, whispering tales of the old witch, Granny Gwen. Swirling rumors said, if any dared to knock on her door at midnight, their deepest wish would come true.
Tim, a daring lad, decided to test the legend. Carrying a lantern against the pervasive gloom, he approached the mansion. Mustering the courage of a soldier, he knocked at midnight sharp.
To his surprise, the door creaked open. Granny Gwen, her eyes gleaming under her pointed hat, invited him. In her room, surrounded by mysterious objects was a giant jack-o’-lantern, glowing with an otherworldly sheen.
“Whisper your wish”, she said, her voice raspy yet kind. Timhesitatingly moved closer to the jack-o’-lantern and whispered his wish. Suddenly, the room sparked with brilliant flashes, and he found himself outside his own home.
Awestruck, Tim entered his house to find the surprise. He rushed to his room to find the toy car he had always desired.
The next morning, baffled villagers found the mansion disappeared. All that was left was a single pumpkin seed. As they say, the witch Granny Gwen was no more, or was she?
Legend has it, if the seed is planted by a wishful heart on Halloween night, Granny Gwen’s mansion might pop up again. But remember, you must dare to knock at midnight!
