Melvin was your typical nine-to-five guy; the only difference, his workplace was a haunted house at the city’s popular amusement park, Terror Towers. His job, plain and straightforward – scaring thrill-seekers who dared to venture into the park.
Halloween was the busiest night, and Melvin didn’t disappoint. Ghoulish makeup, a chilling laugh, glowing red eyes – he was the epitome of fright, sending shivers down people’s spines. But as the last thrill-seeker fled, a real ghost emerged, ethereal and menacing, causing poor Melvin’s heart to jump.
The ghost, disheartened, said, “I hoped to enjoy being scared for once. Alas, all I see is all play and no scare.”
Melvin, astounded, managed a stuttering reply, “I…I em-emp-thy…sympathize with you.”
With one final glare at Melvin, the ghost vanished, leaving behind his deafening silence.
From that spooky encounter, Melvin realized that even ghosts sought a thrill. With a wicked grin, he vowed to turn Halloween into a truly hair-raising spectacle, not just for humans, but specters too. After all, why should humans have all the fun?
So, next time you see a ghost cowering in fright, remember, it might be Halloween at Terror Towers, where even the creepiest spirits go for a good scare!
