The Pumpkin Alternate Ending

It was Halloween night and Elizabeth was at the pumpkin patch picking the perfect pumpkin for the pumpkin carving contest on her street. She saw her best friend, Lindsey, down the street so she ran down to meet her.

“No next we have to gut the pumpkin.” my dad said. He grabbed the tablespoon we had ready and began to scrape the insides of the pumpkins. He scooped out a few slimy guts, laid them on the table, and handed me the spoon. I scraped at the pumpkin for about 20 minutes. Making sure to get everything out of the pumpkin. My dad looked inside and confirmed “Now we can carve the face.”

“Do you see it,” Emerson questioned Alice, “the polished black worm by the entrance?” Emerson’s schizophrenia had puzzled him. He was quite intelligent, a man with a Master’s of Psychology, until his condition had caught up with him.

Katrina lay soundlessly in her bed as the wind whipped and whistled against the glass of the window. She was awakened abruptly by the casting glow of a flashlight shining in on her and then trailing around the house. She slinked to her window to peer around the pane, but the light was no longer there. Instead there was a pumpkin head smashed against her window atop of horse’s body. The pumpkin began to speak and as it did, it left a trail of fog on the cold fall night. It told her never to tell anyone that she saw a pumpkin peering in on her and that if she told anyone he would burden her from her sleep and there would be no trace of her left behind. Oddly enough this voice resembled the schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane.

“Mom!” Emily shrieked, panic filling her mind. She sprinted down the stairs to the basement, not bothering to wait for her little brother. Behind her, she heard Navin running after her, yelling at her to wait for him. She waved at him dismissively, knowing that she didn’t have any time to stop. Navin would just have to catch up to her.

Carla takes a deep breath and places the knife on the table. She sweeps the sharp, ceramic shards off of the floor. Carly, driven towards the luminescent pumpkin, skips over to it and takes a bite out of the side. Carla doesn’t seem to notice Carly is near the pumpkin. Carly rushes to her mother’s side, and apologizes for the mess she made. Carla doesn’t think a thing of it until she notices Carly has a sinister gleam to her eyes. Carla accepts the apology, and decides to ignore Carly’s facial expression. Carly offers help, and Carla accepts.

Behind her in the living room, someone cleared his throat. She panicked, she didn’t know is she should turn around or not. She didn’t know if she wanted to see what frightful thing would be standing in her living room. Behind her, she could hear someone walking closer and closer to her very slowly.

The card went swipe/beep, swipe/beep, swipe/beep. I sat on the floor in the corner and cried. I didn’t know what to do. They were getting closer and closer. “Back of you evil pumpkins” I heard from the door. . It was some of Rachel's friends. “Get away from her.” “Zap,Zap,Zap” I heard. Those pumpkins shrank faster than lightening. They yelled “Is Rachel’s niece in here?” I yelled back “Yes, Help me I’m in the corner.” The evil pumpkins had tied me there. They helped me get stable because I was so unsteady. They got the card to work and took me to the room, and there they sat. Lets just say I had quite a rage on them for losing me and not doing anything about it. Me and Rachel went back to the kitchen to put the seeds in the oven. There sat the pumpkins all shriveled up. We put the seeds in the oven and went back to the dorm. The room was empty. Where was

I had a choice, either stop cutting and starve for today or keep cutting which makes it brighter and brighter and higher and higher until. Ire in the stratosphere. Then I really had to stop or did I. I did one final cut and you could see the set juiciness of pumpkin. But then the pumpkin exploded, everywhere on our floor! Everywhere, and everywhere, and everywhere until it disappeared and the strangest thing then happened. Something unconventional, something peculiar, something that would change our lives. It was A, A, A ….

This is not a Linus fantasy sequence or a visit to the Twilight Zone. I?m referring, instead, to the annual eruption of pumpkin recipes that seems to overshadow the coming of fall and the holiday season, beginning with the eve of the Feast of All Hallows, or All Saints Day to Roman Catholics. It seems that every year the uses for this orange colored squash expands and diversifies. This year is no different. Don?t misunderstand me, I look forward to the annual visit of pumpkin donuts and muffins, courtesy of Dunkin? Donuts, as much as anyone, but now it expands beyond pumpkin flavored coffee into an evening cocktail.

I slouched in my car and awaited Jane’s blue Toyota. Roughly 20 minutes passed before Jane arrived. My eyes stayed on her as she gracefully got out of her car and headed for the door. At this time I also got out of my car and began to walk towards the door. Gradually I caught up to her and in the darkness I aggressively pulled her away from her friends. My hand glued her mouth shut as she attempted to let out a cry. Lucky for me her friends were way to distracted on making sure their costumes were aligned perfectly before entering that they didn’t even notice Jane was missing. Petite, little Jane was too weak to resist as I shoved her into my car and took

After she’s done she pops a piece of spearmint gum in her mouth, to mask the smell of vomit, knowing it won’t actually but also knowing no one will notice except maybe Brian, and if he noticed he wouldn’t say anything.

The inside was so lurid with fake blood everywhere on the walls and on the ground. As I had spun around the corner a mannequin like a person standing to wait to pounce on its prey. BAH! They said intimidating me with fright, The adrenaline flew over my veins like a carp through a river, but I couldn’t move a single muscle, not even to scream. The absolute horror completely paralyzed me, and the more I thought about running away, or simply moving a bit, the more I felt discouraged and utterly terrified. I didn’t remember being that scared in my life. And that was just the beginning. That idea only made it worse.Throughout the park, monsters stirred around waiting for there prey to be feared. A choked cry for help came from a woman 10 ft away in agony of fear. “Clowns” Jacob exclaimed “they have returned for Halloween night, we must escape to another part of the park” Jacob proclaimed. We had traveled far from Jester town but soon found our way into fearytale land where all your fairytale characters come back to life scarier than before. Bloody little red riding hood limped from her broken ankle as The big bad wolf pondered around looking for his prey. Cinderella dressed so

so she started to cut the pumpkin and as she lowered the knife and it grew even brighter. Later that day Ethan tried to steal it again this time they started to fight again for hours. It didn’t stop for days and days then it got worse they didn’t even talk to each other then it came to Lily, they went to her when they had something to say and she had to go back and forth for hours and then days. When Brooklyn was starting to eat her delicious dinner, Ethan went into her room to get the pumpkin. Then Brooklynn ran into her room to study and her room was a mess. She saw how much he really wanted the pumpkin so she decided to share the pumpkin with Ethan. Then they started to carve the pumpkin with 5 days till halloween. So the next day they worked together to make the best halloween costumes on the block. When Brooklyn said to Ethan “ how about we go and set up our pumpkin”. The next day was halloween and they placed everything outside to set up for the night. By night time Brooklynn and her family went out to go to a friends house to get ready. Brooklynn went outside to see if the pumpkin was still glowing as much as it will when it gets

Martha was on her way to work in her silver ford car, suddenly her watch buzzed. She looked down at it and stopped her car, ehhhhhhher, a shrieking noise rang in everyone’s ears as she stopped her car. The woman jumped out of her car and started running as she ran faster and faster she jumped and glided in the wind and landed on top of a building with a swoosh and stared at Ethan. “What are you doing?!” She exclaimed.
