Nera Puledra
When I was just 12 years old, we lived in Las Vegas (for 3 months) and it was Halloween. Back in those days, kids just went wherever. We had friends who had been there for all of their lives and they knew the ropes. We walked to the rich neighborhood, where we trick or treated at mansions and movie stars' wifes in hot pink outfits gave out whole candy bars.. It was quite a step up from Newark, NJ, where we lived before. My sister and I were troupers, and would have gone all night if we thought we could get away with it. That halloween haul still lives on in my memory as the very best. We couldn't afford costumes, so I went as a hobo. I trimmed my own hair and glued on a mustache with it...

they knew the ship was Haunted when they took the assignment
to sail on the Pirate ship Sea Squall. Tails of a Green Creature that came out on the Foggiest nights while everyone slept at night were abundant between the crew members. They shivered in their bunks at night as the creature roamed the deck. They could hear the loud thudding as it moved Stern to Aft on the above deck. None would dare to rise and go investigate. Each morning there was much talk about the Happening's at night none knew what to do. One Sailor in the morning Had an idea he took the Flags of the ship and hung them on the Lines and set up his Pirate Ship cam. to Catch a photo of just what was on their deck at night. That night the sound was heard again, they hoped that they would have a photo
as they looked to their Horror was the creature that was to become
The Dredd Seaweed.
this is the only known photo of the creature
Happy Halloween

For Halloween, my fiance and I are dressing up as Napoleon Dynamite and Kip. I just got my Kip wig that I need to style, and the rest of the stuff, but we are going to look so funny.

This is a cool idea, Mensie! Thanks for hosting!

We've never done much to celebrate Halloween, but I've enjoyed seeing how each year the decorations seem to come up earlier and earlier in the year! =))
Unfortunately, writers' block prevents me from writing much in terms of a story or a poem, but I'll do my best! :)

Spooky decorations,
Holiday preparations,
Jack-o-Lantern carving,
Candy for more than a farthing,
Sounds like a blast,
Halloween at last.

The cold wind howled through the trees, whipping around the house and producing an ominous creaking noise, sending chills down her spine- No, no, no. It just wasn’t quite right. Allison frowned, smashing the “delete” button on her computer. The blank document on her computer screen seemed forever taunting her with its emptiness. All authors had writer's block sometimes, but now was an incredibly inconvenient time for her. It was two weeks before Halloween, and her publisher demanded a terrifying Halloween short story by the eve of Halloween. And so far she had, well, nothing. I wasn’t that she couldn’t think of horrifying things, those were easy to come up with. But as soon as she put them on paper they seemed to fall apart. The spark, the joy of writing, was always lacking. It seemed that as soon as there was a deadline, the stories in her mind fell to pieces.
“I have to write something,” she sighed heavily. “But everything I write turns out the same- hollow, meaningless, pointless. Sure, I can write something scary, but it’s not right. It’s never perfect.” She sighed heavily, resting her chin on her hands. After moping quite childishly for several minutes, she stood and walked disconsolately outside. It was absolutely and positively unhelpful weather- sunshine without a cloud in sight- quite uninspiring. There was truly nothing gloomy or spooky about it. Birds chirped happily, and the golden-brown leaves up in the branches of the surrounding trees rustled in the Fall breeze. It seemed to blow away her frown, and she couldn't help but take in a deep breath of the fresh cool air. It was blissful. "The only spooky or gloomy story of today is the one of my own predicament," she said, reveling in the drama of the situation. "But alas! No one would like to read that story." She smiled at her own foolish words. It cheered her up to speak so gloomily, ironically. "Halloween is meant to be a terrifying holiday, full of costumes and candy, and yet all I can see is the joy in it." She sighed heavily, but the thought crossed her mind that the world did have a way of surprising you whenever you took something for granted or dealt in absolutes. Instead of feeling almost comforted or contented, the idea sent shivers up and down her spine. Another gust of wind swirled through the trees- nay, it moaned. She tensed. The horrible feeling that you are being watched and crept up on stiffened her bones and widened her eyes. But a bird chirped at her side and the feeling was gone. She relaxed. Silly thoughts to say the least, she thought. Such spooky foolishness was good only for paying the bills in the form of short and gory tales. The real world was rather unexciting, packed as it was with everyday boredom, stress, and exhaustion. She walked back inside, dropped onto the couch, and grabbed the remote to the tv. She pressed the "on" button, but instead of pulling up live tv, a scream, screeching, terrifying, painful, scream echoed through the speakers.

Edit: I'll be adding to the story as I have time/inspiration.

-In case you can't tell, the short story is very short, more of the beginning to a story, and rather cringy. It's pretty much just a bunch of plotless fluff, but definitely, a good exercise to make me write something. :D

Happy Halloween/Fall!

True spooky story time.

Once when I was a kid I got home from school before my parents returned from work. I went inside and the phone rang. When I answered someone on the other line said "I'm the man upstairs." Directly after the person said this I heard what sounded like work boots taking a few steps above me. I ran out of the house and to the neighbors who called the police. Nobody was ever found in my house. To this day that memory gives me nightmares.

I have some lingering PTSD about Halloween from being stalked by a guy dressed up as an ICP juggalo who followed me home from a pub crawl when I was in college, so I don’t really do anything fun on Halloween but stay at home and watch non-terrifying Halloween movies such as Hocus Pocus and Practical Magic. I do really enjoy Halloween season and seeing all of the cool decorations. I got invited to a local riding club’s party and costume contest last week, but I got myself exposed to Covid a couple of days before and didn’t get to go.

I don’t have any licenses yet on this server but I breed for satin and pearl.
