The Legend of The Blackened Pumpkin
He arrived unpretentiously.
In a white van.
Though we met him in a field.
He was carried by a man in a white hat, and left to season.
To savor the warm sun on his back.
A child drew on a face, using natural scars as inspiration.
And so it began.
It Started Innocently
A flicker of a dream ~
~ that his pumpkin could shoot flames and be really, reeee-ally scary!
Lighting a Flame
That's not a match!
THIS is a match!

NATO, people!
And as the flames began to grow
smoke started to emerge
Dude! That pumpkin was smokin'!
Fire Extinguishers
Flames Began to Curl from Every Cavity
It was awesome! Flames were shooting from his nose, his head... Dad was in real danger!
Fire Trucks were Standing By
He Winced, Writhing in the Blaze
And when it was over...
A new being was born...
The Blackened Pumpkin!
OMG! Look what you've done to that poor pumpkin!

Yes I am appalled. What did that pumpkin ever do to you? The torture he was put through. :)
Nah, well, you don't know what the pumpkin did in a previous life, do ya?
Desilegend says:
I've never had proper Halloween (don't blame me because I was born in Soviet times and no foreign stuff was allowed). I'd love to experience Halloween and Thanksgiving american style and to see all sort of things you do to pumpkins.
happynutritionist says:
And I'm just wondering if you've get a head start on cooked pumpkin for pumpkin pie if you clean out the blackened innards?
Here He Stands Today
The Blackened Pumpkin of Myrtle Beach
As the legend goes, his family had no interest in his meat; 'twas his craggy face they cared for. Once the recycling truck had been through, the blackened pumpkin was never heard from again.
