“There’s a myth that spreads in the town of scarceville.

A myth that suggests that if you refuse to celebrate halloween, a creature will take you away and make you its slave. A creature of no kind, ugly but always has a smile and umbrellas with it. They say that the umbrella represents its ability to refuse your cries and punish you dearly. They say the smile shows that it is happy to do it.”

I didn’t know why I was listening to this, my mum had told me the story millions of times and always forced me yo celebrate the holiday. I never saw the big deal about it, but apparently it was the “best” holiday even including Christmas. It was basically just kids dressing up and looking for candy.
