The Pumpkin Farm (part 1)
Emma couldn't wait for the trip to the pumpkin farm, if it was as fun as last year she was guaranteed to have a haunting time. She remembered the hay ride and the corn maze. She remembers the eerie haunted barn and the rather odd farmer all dressed for Halloween. She had all her pumpkin carving tools out and ready for when they got back. This year she has new ideas to try out that she saw on the internet. Her daddy came home and they all left for the pumpkin farm, her dad trying to scare her mom along the way. She smiled when her mom keep telling him to stop it and she would catch his wink in the rear view mirror. This time of year was so pretty she thought. All the leaves had been changing color and the nights seemed bright but brisk. On the way to the farm she saw all the houses decorated for Halloween, she couldn't wait for "trick or treating". They reached the farm and to her surprise there was hardly anyone there. She found it odd because last year they couldn't find any parking and her dad parked weird on the side of the road. She got out of the car and ran over to the barn right away. It seemed stagnant like there was no life to what she remembered. She ran over to the corn maze, the stalks were old and ruined. She ran back over to the place where they sold the pumpkins and the ones there were weird or oddly shaped. Nothing seemed right, what was going on? This was the most famous pumpkin farm for miles, they always had the best. Even the stores in town got their pumpkins from here. She looked for her parents but they were not in sight where she could see them. She ran back to the car but they weren't there either. She called out to them "Mom...Dad!" there was no response. She became uneasy and the chill of the night landed on the back of her neck. Something was wrong, really, really wrong. She was so excited to see the attractions she had been waiting for so long that she didn't care to watch her parents. Where could they be? Maybe the barn she thought and proceeded towards the entrance. Then she saw the Farmer, this time his outfit was different. It was bloody looking and dirty, so unlike last year. She knew something just wasn't right and she started to get really worried now. How come no one else is showing up to the pumpkin farm? Where are her parents? Is this the Pumpkin Farmer?

The Pumpkin Farm (part 2)
The tall eerie form looked down upon Emma and then pointed
to the barn, Emma's heart was racing and it felt like it was going to jump from
her chest. She looked into the barn, squinting her eyes, to see into the
darkness. The farmer motioned for her to step forward again so she went to the
doorway. A crow flew from the entrance and scarred her but she kept going. Now
she could hear the muffled voice of someone in the darkness of the barn. The
day was so grey that no light pierced the depths of the shadows. She stepped
into the barn and a large cat on the inside screamed as if it was being killed
over and over again. Its sound was deafening and she jumped to the other side
of the entrance to get away from it. When she did this the Pumpkin Farmer
appeared in the doorway. He pointed to the back of the barn where it was the
darkest. Emma was shaking and her knees felt like knocking together. She could
barely move but she walked slowly into the blackened abyss. The muffled sound
was getting clearer now and it almost sounded familiar. Two more steps and a
bunch of bats flew into her straight on “get off me...get off me “she cried out
loud. The Pumpkin Farmer make a blood curdling scream “move on child ".
Emma was startled and screamed her lungs out in return. The Pumpkin farmer
pointed to the blackened abyss again. Emma started towards the muffled sound
again all the time thinking she knew the voice. She was now in the middle of
the barn and only the gloom of the grey day allowed her to see the walls. There
were bails of old and new hay laid out with no order like they had been thrown
about. she looked down at the floor from where she came and saw red fluid
trails criss crossing the floor all the way back to the Pumpkin Farmers feet.
"Was that blood?" she thought. Just then the muffled sound turned
into a scream for help “help me Emma...help me". And it hit Emma like a brick,
it was her mother. She tried to locate her in the darkness and caught a glimpse
of a rather large animal on top of the bales of hay. Its red eyes glowing like
a volcano's fire, she could swallow the evil from it right where she stood. She
didn’t move hoping it didn't see her. Too late it moved down the bales of hay
towards her and her mother cried out “no you don't you demon from hell". She
tried to kick it to get it to turn on her hoping to save Emma from her fate.
"Run Emma...run thru the back door! Hurry honey hurry" and her mom
screamed a deathly scream jumping onto the monster. All Emma could do was race
past them to back door and when she reached it she yelled “no mommy! Come with
me...I love you!” all the reply Emma got though was more screaming and then the
muffled sounds she heard earlier. "NOOOOOOOOOO!....NOOOOOOOO!... MOMMY...MOMMY!”
Emma started bawling and she couldn’t see anything from the tears falling from
her eyes. She wiped them from her face just to see the creature tearing her
mother apart. The Pumpkin Farmer moved past the bloody battle and walked up to
her. It pointed to the door again at the back of the barn and his eyes seemed
to burn right thru her. She turned and walked to the door, her heart heavy
witnessing the death of her mother. At this point it was all she could fathom,
she wasn’t even thinking of her dad. The scene of the blood all over the hay
and the creature’s eyes over whelmed her. then she snapped out of it "are
their more of them?" she thought and she looked around to see on the other
bales of hay more of those sinister evil eyes looking her way seeming to abide
by the Pumpkin Farmers will. She looked to the door and tried to pierce its
darkness perhaps this is where her father is. He surely is strong and agile
enough to fight these demons. All she could see is a small flashlight lying on
the cement floor in the opposite corner. She stepped thru the door and the
beasts in the hay all let out a horrifying call as if they were announcing her
entrance. she had no choice now she had to go in. she tried to sense if
something was right inside the door way ready to pounce on her, but nothing
moved or made a noise. The evil creatures in the hay barn started to move
towards her, pressing her. Emma went into the room backwards so as to watch
them in case they were to try and rush her. Just then the Pumpkin Farmer made
another blood curdling scream out and pointed to the back of the cement floored
room. The other creatures pounced on the remains of her mother. Emma let out a
scream and edged into the room still shaking, her body didn't want to move
anymore
