Halloween of Fun
Hurray for Halloween! One year ago today, I tried to scare everyone visiting here by saying 'Blargh!'. It did work on Air, but apparently on no-one else. Therefore, I've decided to welcome you to the house of FEAR instead. Where is the house of FEAR? I don't know. I guess you can use your imaginations (we don't give them enough attention, I say!!).
The House of FEARTimothy, Maria, Arthur, and Gladys cycled up to the brow of Sarmont Hill. Our gang of young friends had gotten quite carried away with their Halloween guising activities (aka Trick Or Treating, for our American allies). They had quite forgotten that the moon was not a person, and that they would find it rather difficult to extract any sweets from it. "It's no use, Timothy," said Gladys. "You're being silly. Even if we could reach the moon, why should it give us any sweets?"
"I'll see about that!" Timothy was not in the mood for being proven wrong. "I brought a stick with which to poke the moon. With its help, we'll tickle it into submission, and demand lots of sweets!" Gladys was very much embarrassed, skipping down the hill to avoid being seen with Tim. His Batman costume was part of this incentive, though.
"I'll do a dance!" said Arthur to Sarah, who had managed to accidentally walk over the hill and into the local dark forest. "And I'll sing a song!" Sarah was anxious to reply. Welled with an irrepressible glory to bring the world to happiness with music, both of them ended up singing and dancing, despite making public a devotion to just one of these two. Unfortunately, Arthur inadvertantly bumped into a tree, causing the entire forest to be transported into the astral plane, directly above a planet in the Lunar system.
So, the two realised every emotion and awe of spirit imaginable, a transcendance of mortal incorrigibility, and basked in delight at the realisation of the higher mystery of all things, for souls to never grasp in their flesh.
Suddenly, Shakespeare appeared and decided to sum up the proceedings by remarking that, "there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." When Gladys unlocked the astral door and found them, she asked 'Shakers' who Horatio was. 'Shakers' replied, "For the purpose of this story, the author does not know the answer to that question. Ask Rob instead."
And to all a good night.
