Birds all in a row
Not waiting for Godot though
But for juicy worms.
My name is Duncan,
A close cousin to the pumpkin.
Let me be your jack-o-lantern
I promise I can frighten.
BOO
How’d I do?
Did I scare you?
Watch what you say
For I’ll make you pay
By showing up one day,
To take you away . . .
Happy Halloween!
A recipe to terrify (or choke).
Plop a hair extension on a carved squash. Top with a jeweled tiara. Cover the bottom with a frilly pink dress, and you’ve got a hot ghoul.
Another fun expanded 50-word story collaboration with fellow blogger, Poet Rummager, and the story posted on Dead Donovan’s SlasherMonster Magazine.
He felt dizzy and fell hard; his head bleeding profusely. Running to him, she, too, tumbled. Her arm snapped, and she screamed.
She crawled painfully to him. “Are you okay, Jack?”
He winced. “There’s something wrong with the well water, Jill. I feel sick. Tell everyone not to drink it.”

Soon Elissa meets the not-so-dreamy boy next door, only to discover that the horror still lingers.

Redemption gone south
Nocturnal eternity,
Point of no return.

Window to abyss
Visions of depravity,
Blinding evilness.
THANK YOU to Charles French for nominating me for the Lovely Blog Award over four months ago.
The Rules:
*Thank the person who nominated you, and give a link to his/her blog
*List the rules
*Display the image of the award on your post
*List seven facts about yourself (me, myself, and I):
The last rule is to nominate so many people, but I don’t really like leaving out any one and many of you are award free. Instead, I would like to tell you more about the lovely blogger who honored me with the award. Most of you probably know him by now since he’s been around the blogosphere for a while. He’s got a brand new horror book just in time for Halloween. Great looking cover too:
