Once upon a mystifying Halloween night, in a town where having a ghost for a neighbor was standard, lived an eccentric witch named Hazel. Hazel had a fiendish enjoyment for baking eerily decorated Halloween cookies, luring locals for a taste test with every fresh batch.
On this particular night, Hazel concocted a batch of her notorious pumpkin spice cookies. She didn’t know it then, but these were no ordinary cookies. Through some peculiar twist of magic, every cookie held a peculiar surprise.
Tom, the town’s grumpy postman, hesitantly approached Hazel’s aged, creaky house for his annual Halloween treat. He cautiously bit into a cookie, flinching like he expected to bite into a rock. Within seconds, he started humming a whimsical tune! It was a silly sight- grumpy Tom with an unshakeable smile and an earworm you couldn’t ignore.
Curious onlookers offered theories, maybe the cookie had magic, perhaps it was a Halloween prank, but the true answer was far more intriguing. It turned out these were Hazel’s new Mood Lifter Cookies, every bite pulling a surprise mood swap. As for grumpy Tom, he sang jolly tunes all night long; proof that even a hardened heart could be unlocked with a sprinkling of Halloween magic!
