Once upon a time, tucked away in the hills of Thistleville, there stood the ‘House of No Return’. Unsuspecting trick or treaters lost forever each Halloween.
One Halloween, three brave souls, Sam, Hannah, and Alex decided to confront the terror. They knocked on the door, a hand appeared, took their treats and, unexpectedly, they weren’t sucked in.
“That’s odd,” muttered Sam, “Let’s try again.” The same sequence followed, they remained untouched. Suddenly, Alex had an idea. On their last try, they offered pumpkin pies instead of candies. As the hand reached out, the entire house trembled violently and then…poof! It vanished!
From the disappearing house, emerged the missing trick or treaters. They revealed the secret of the mesmerizing house. It was cursed by a wicked witch who despised candies but loved pumpkin pies.
As a result, only those who dared to offer her favorite dessert could dispel the curse. Alex’s fondness for pumpkin pies had saved them all, proving Halloween isn’t just about candies and costumes, but also pies!
So, the next Halloween when you’re preparing your treat bag, remember to pack a pumpkin pie – you never know when you might encounter a ‘House of No Return’!
