"Please take only one per person"- that's how it started, stuck in a big pumpkin and tickled by vines - that's how it ended. It was halloween and ash was wandering around to get as much candy as possible of course, there it was, at the end of an short, old street he spottet an old house with small pumpkin field in the front, as he reached the door he didn't need to knock, outside on an wooden sidetable was a bowl that looks like an little witch pot with candies inside. On the wall was a sign with the magic words "Please take only one per personafter opened his bag, toke the bowl and emptied it inside the bag. Right as he put the bowl back he heard steps from inside so he decided to run. Behind him the door swung open and an elder woman in a witch costume came out. "Hey! Come back hw, thief!" She called after him. All of a suddenthe plastic bag got as heavy as a rock but he couldn't put it down, it was like knotted to his wrist wich he didn't do. "Did it get too heavy?" The woman asked, standing next to him, he struggled to lift it but no chance. "The sign clearly said one per person and not all for one" she grabs his wrist and pulls him over to a pumpkin. "Hey! what the hell? Let me go, grandma!" Ash demanded, "Grandma? Excuse me? For a witch i am pretty young, these young people nowadays have no manners!". Then it happened, the pumpkin grew and the bag released his wrist, only for vines to grab him and pull him inside the pumpkin "what the?! Hey, what is going on??" His head and ankles were in the pumpkin wall, his wrist inside were still holden by vines inside the pumpkin, he looks at her with a pleading face "okay i am sorry, please release me, i didn't mean to insult you, also doesn't every second steal candies?" "Too late, you need to learn your lection" she gave the grey sole of his left racoon foot a scratch and it immediately tried to jerk away "hehe come on, please don't tickle me" "oh i won't, the pumpkin will" "what?" "From now until midnight, then the ghosts will decide your fate" with that she casts magic and leaves "wait, no, please have mehercy, cohohomeme ohon" he started laughing, two vines split in multiple ones to torment every inch of his sensitive soles, not sightable from outside some vines inside start their tickle attacks on his ribs, armpits and belly, how unlucky.
