faintly brushed a massive pumpkin on the ledge of our stairs, and down it went. I froze mid run, and watched in horror as the pumpkin tumbled down. When there were no more stairs for it to plummet down, it bounced higher than a pumpkin should ever be able to, and created a colossal, pumpkin-shaped hole in our wall. With tears in my eyes, I walked to my mother, and explained the falling pumpkin. She curiously wandered to the stairs, and couldn’t see the…

One day my mom had decided to let my brother and I take a couple of friends and go to Pumpkin Hollow. So we started talking to people and telling them about how we were going.

When she finished reading, the children started to sing The Five Little Pumpkin. “Do you want to do that next?” the teacher asked the children.

While the teacher looking for the song, the children stood…

The day was young and the sun blazed from the sky. It was an afternoon and the atmosphere around us was filled with joy. The streets of Brooklyn Center was filled with high rates of hustle and bustle and when my friend dropped me off at my home, she said the normal "see you later!" as expected. My response was unexpected though. I replied with a surprising "when?". She replied "tomorrow at school" and I asked her again what she meant by "tomorrow". She laughed and drove off, probably thought I…

The first time I went to pumpkin hollow, I was so scared. We went up to the booth to pay for our bracelets, to get into the forest, the butcher barn and the Frightmare farmhouse. After we paid for our bracelets we stood in line to get into the hayride that takes us to the forest. Whenever we got to the forest we first went to the concession stand to get hot chocolate.
