Halloween Contest 2014
The year's theme: "Something Wicked this Way
Comes"
A
mysterious car rounds the corner at the end of your block. As it
makes its way past your house while your sending your children out
for a night of trick or treating it slows its pace to a crawl. Who
is it? What is it? All of your concentration is directed towards
this 'figure' but you just can't seem to make sense of what you're
seeing. You begin to question whether your children should be sent
out in search of candy while this 'thing' is among you. It's going
to be long night. Leave the lights on and hold your loved ones
close for something wicked this way comes!
