The Haunted Pumpkin Patch

One Halloween evening before sunset a group of three boys were standing outside the gates of a pumpkin patch.This wasn’t just an ordinary pumpkin patch.Two of the boys,for years,had heard rumors that it was once a cemetery and at sunset the pumpkins came to life and tried to kidnap and torture people who walked around in it.The two boys had always been to scared to see if it the rumors were true, so they dared the new kid in town,Charlie, to go into the pumpkin patch.They told Charlie if he was brave and not a chicken, then he would go into the pumpkin patch and bring back the biggest pumpkin he could find.Charlie didn’t want his friends to think he was a scaredy cat,so he went in the gate to the pumpkin patch.Secretly,he was scared, so he just grabbed the first big pumpkin he saw.Just then, the vines on the pumpkin started to move and grow out like arms and legs.A face appeared with glowing evil red eyes and sharp fang teeth.Charlie dropped the pumpkin and ran back toward his friends,but tripped over a few vines from all of the other pumpkins that came to life.Charlie was captured by the vines and was unable to move.The friends were calling for help, but the only person that could seem to hear them was a witch.She flew in while casting a spell.All of a sudden,Charlie was free and gasped.Then he felt a pat on the back and heard his friends saying,”Chicken chicken Charlie chicken.” Just then, Charlie realized daydreaming and hadn’t even entered the pumpkin patch yet.Charlie agreed he was a chicken cause’ he is not going in that place!
