Pumpkin's Fall (mis)Adventures

Hello All, I just wanted to thank everyone who followed along in Pumpkin, Orange, and Munckin's Halloween adventure. Hopefully, I can continue to write daily mini stories until I write another adventure for this trio (next month). Currently, I am in my senior seminar for my undergrad, so I didn't...

Pumpkin looked up some pictures of Halloween hats so Munchkin could brainstorm. A witch hat was nice, but he wanted his pumpkin to be dapper, so he created a top hat. “Looking good, Munchkin,” Pumpkin complimented. Orange gave them a sideways glance and went back to making another “orange.” He knew... Sign in to see full entry.

“Well, they should,” argued Orange. “We’re orange and bright,” he continued. “Why can’t we have a nice holiday to partake in?” “I know I am against Jack-o-Lanterns,” Pumpkin began, “but can you imagine if a human tried to carve up an orange?” “That’s the beauty of it.

With the wagon loaded back up, the three set out into the quaint neighborhood. They were on the lookout for any houses with Jack-o-Lanterns. Not many homes were decorated so far. Pumpkin thought that was a good sign. “Seems rather empty,” stated Orange. Munchkin was wondering if pumpkins were really... Sign in to see full entry.

Pumpkin chatted with Munchkin about the color orange versus his friend Orange. He knew things could be confusing. In either case, both the color and his friend are wonderful. Munchkin looked at his new, smiling companions, and then at the hoard of angry pumpkins. “Why are they so mad!?” he sounded... Sign in to see full entry.

With all of their pumpkins completed, minus the one Orange saved for himself, they sat back and looked at each other’s work. “Thank you for your help! I would not have been able to do this all myself,” Pumpkin said. “What are good friends for? You’re welcome. I guess I would expect you to do the... Sign in to see full entry.
