Once upon a time in the town of Crescent Hollow, there lived a peculiar lady named Miss Scarlet. Known for her bright red hair, beady eyes, and a spine-chilling laugh, the locals believed her to be a witch.
Every Halloween, she would cloister herself in her eerie cabin, refusing any costumed visitor. Curious whispers filled the town. Some said she was casting spells, while others whispered she was summoning spirits.
One Halloween night, three brave children mustered their courage, deciding to finally unveil the truth. They cautiously approached her cabin, only to see the door creak… open, flooding the pathway with light and revealing Miss Scarlet at her cauldron.
The children gasped, frightened eyes wide as they saw her heave a gigantic pumpkin into the cauldron and stir it ferociously. Suddenly, the cauldron’s contents gushed out like a molten river, filling the room in an array of orange and yellow sparks. Terrified, the children bolted.
Back in the safety of their homes, they recanted their daredevil exploration, sparking shivers amongst those who listened. It was another Halloween that would live in the shadows of intrigue and whispers.
However, unbeknownst to them, back in the humble abode of Miss Scarlet, a cauldron full of Pumpkin Soup sent out a heavenly aroma. Their witch was, in fact, a legendary cook. ‘Happy Halloween indeed,’ she chuckled!
