Once upon a midnight chilling, in a quaint town devoid of milling, slept little Tommy, a lad brave and strong, unaware of the impending wrong. On this eerie Halloween night, a ghastly presence was soon to alight.
Tommy woke, clutching his blanket tight, as an ominous figure cast a strange light. It murmured an undecipherable requiem, a sound Tommy couldn’t fathom. With bravado seldom seen, he wielded his flashlight like a weapon mean.
The figure shrieked with a surprise, shielding its spectral eyes. “Trick or treat!” cursed the frightful creature, exposing its grotesque facial features. A devious jack-o-lantern smile widened, its pumpkin-ish demeanor heightened.
Not faltering, Tommy aimed his light. The figure crumbled, unable to further fight. Instead, it let out a hearty “Boo!” Hurling chocolates, candies, sweets of all hues.
Awakening to a Halloween bounty, Tommy found himself recounting the spooky fantasy. As he bit into a candy bar, he found something quite bizarre… an engraving on the wrapper that read, “With lots of love, from Uncle Fred.”
The gulping surprise made Tommy beam. His favorite prank playing Uncle, master of the Halloween dream. So, beware dear readers of the Halloween night, sometimes, the scariest of spooks may just yield the sweetest delight!
