Our story starts in a small farming town named Harvest Hollow, where every year on Halloween, the pumpkin patch held a secret. If you sauntered down the stone path under the pallid glow of the moon, your eyes would meet a legendary sight: the Great Pumpkin,glowing incandescently like an earthly star.
This intriguing squash wasn’t just admired for its size, but also for the tale that it held a trapped soul, eternally bound to scare away evil spirits. No one dared to cross its path, fearing waking the unearthly prisoner within.
One Halloween, a mischievous lad challenged that fear. Young Eddie, renowned for his fearlessness, aimed to defang the myth. As midnight chimed, he approached the Great Pumpkin with a determined glint in his eyes. In his hand was the sharpest knife, ready to carve into the legendary squash.
However, just as he was about to make his mark, the Great Pumpkin began glowing vibrantly, separating into hundreds of tiny star-like pumpkins. Frightened, Eddie bolted away, leaving his knife behind.
To this day, every Halloween, Harvest Hollow’s paths are illuminated by tiny glowing pumpkins known as Eddie’s Stars. The Great Pumpkin? Oh, it never returned. Eddie didn’t just carve a pumpkin that night; he unwittingly freed a soul, forever altering the town’s Halloween tradition in a spectacular twist of fate.
