Halloweird

'T Was the eve of Halloween and Joe could feel how his girlfriend, the English Teacher, was slowly succumbing to her alter ego, the Roller Derby Girl "Foxy Moron". Joe the Plumber, with his blue shirt, which said "I am Joe the plumber and I approve this costume" on the back, reluctantly went with her to the car.

Foxy drove Joe through darkened streets in a part of town which he had never seen before. The flicker of Jack-o`-lanterns could be seen from many of the houses lining the streets. An uncomfortable silence engulfed them as they walked up the little trail that led to the house. The house's exterior held no clues to what awaited them inside - a small "Turn Back!" sign was the only hint that something was amiss.

Upon entering the house Joe found himself transported to a medieval dungeon.


Foxy seemed to be at ease with the Witch and the Gypsy that welcomed them into this horror world. This was enough to make Joe's spine crawl and made the flickering red lights, vampires, and spiders, seem welcome. As he was surveying his surroundings he came to realize that he was leaning back against something. Something you weren't supposed to lean on. He turned around slowly and was shocked to discover a life-sized coffin with a body in it:


Joe realized he was slowly losing control of his body and that he had started to tremble slightly. He stumbled towards the back door, thinking that the fresh evening air might help. Crashing through the door he discovered that the back yard was actually a graveyard.


A small, macabre band was playing songs for an audience of deranged people with strange outfits. Joe felt dizzy and held on to the walls as he made his way to the bathroom. The corridor which led there was also decorated in a ghastly manner. The world seemed to be losing its sanity around him.


Happy Halloween everyone!
