Every Halloween night, quaint, little Baker’s Town transformed from unassuming to utterly eerie. On this night, the plight of Ethel the witch, a local legend, was brought to life in more ways than one. You see, Ethel was known for her love of pranks and not just any pranks – Halloween pranks.
This year, however, the townsfolk noticed an unusual silence. With no signs of Ethel’s Halloween mischief, a creeping sense of unease took hold. They began to wonder, had Ethel finally retired from her yearly tradition?
Just as everyone started to breathe a sigh of relief, they heard an ear-piercing cackle. Ethel’s mischievous laughter echoed through the town, followed by the sudden glowing of hundreds of jack-o’-lanterns. They flickered, illuminating every corner of the town. Carved faces leered uncannily from all directions.
Everyone’s fear turned to relief, and then to laughter. The townsfolk began to appreciate the incredible spectacle. However, the surprise was not over. As the last pumpkin dimmed, they saw, standing in the town square, a larger-than-life sculpture of Ethel herself, carved entirely from pumpkins. The spectacle was something to behold – a true Halloween masterpiece culminating in a grand salute to the town’s favorite prankster!
The people of Baker’s Town, bewitched by the ending, kept the sculpture, immortalizing Ethel as the eternal spirit of Halloween – forever reminding them there’s more to Halloween than fright, sometimes it’s full of delightful surprises.
