Sprouting life seeks the sun. Evil tendrils reach. Spreading leaves erupt, an orange fruit is born. The monstrous pumpkin shudders, glows, expands in bursts. A maw cracks across its ghoulish, gourd-ish skin.
Halloween approaches, and alas, the tale of Mighty Jack winds down.
Farmer’s wife steals in close, to strike as swift as lightning. A thrash of vines, a flash of silver…
Competition’s fierce, to win the prize this year. Judges taste the glowing orange dish.
Pumpkin pie’s the winner!
