Halloween II.
Story told on 10-31-2000
By Morticon, Tarka, Seaweed, Stalker, and Xyanth.
Morticon:
Lilo the Otter waved to the last of the customed kits and pups from her front
door after she gave them some goodies. It was about 9:45 in the evening, and
halloween of course. She sighed wearily and closed the door, locking it.
She then flicked the lights off, leaving what was left of the candy on it's
stand. "Finally..."
She yawned and tried to decide what to do next when...
Tarka:
Lilo (Linux Loader) lived all alone on the first segment of the harddrive and
will all the candy used up... it would take her another year to collect
enough for the kits and pubs to come around from the higher disk areas. She
sighed. "All I want in life is a little more disk space."
*pop!* Maggie poped into existance next to her. "Well Lilo.... I think all
your problems can be solved with disk magic!"
Ted looked over Lilo's shoulder. "Hey... I think you will have lost half your
readers by putting in that computer stuff... ah well..
Morticon:
Lilo shook her head. "I've been on the computer too much. Really got to
take a break"
She decided to put on a coat and take a short evening walk before going to
bed. To take a look at the neighborhood halloween decorations and any
leftover trick-or-treaters.
She opened her front door, stepped outside, and locked it behind her. She
walked past her driveway and went no further then 10feet when...
Seaweed:
all of a sudden, she heard a rustling in her bushes, which lined either side
of her walkway to the street.
She froze, like a deer in the headlights.. her heart raced, she could feel
her pulse throbbing against her wrists..
It was only a second or two, but it seemed like forever in her him untill the
bushes parted, and all of a sudden, what did she see but....
Stalker:
A choclate lbrador retriever came puncing through startleing her half to
death! The dog was slobbering as it panted and passed by not giving her one
thought.
"Wew! she thought as her heart settled. I'm getting too jumpy for nothing.
But in the bushes was another rustleing that she didn't notice."
Xyanth:
She watches the labrador sprint off into the darkness of the bushes to the
other side of the pathway, too busy with it to pay any attention to the
bushes once again. She began her walk past them, when suddenly, a fiscious
goblin pounced at her! He growled ferociously, jabbing at her with a
blood-red pitchfork! *poke poke!* "RAAAARRR!! TRICK OR TREAT!" he exclaimed.
She screamed in sheer terror, then blinked. Oh...a trick or treater..
Morticon:
She clutched her chest for a moment.. "Oh! You startled me!" she exclaimed.
"TRICK OR TREAT!!" The goblin yelled again. "Oh, I'm sorry. I don't have
any candy on me" She apologized, checking her pockets.
"NO candy?? Well, it's a trick for you!" He yells. He chants some sort of
ancient language, pokes the pitchfork at her, and disappears into the bushes
once again. "What an odd fellow" She thinks as she continues her walk. "I
wonder what that was all about..."
Tarka:
She was also puzzled as to how she know that it was an 'ancient' language the
little fellow used and not just some modern one she haden't heard before...
they almost always sounded the same to here. "Ah well... I guess that I will
never know."
Just then.... something dark slithered up behind her and kissed the back of
her ear.....
Stalker:
After the initial erotic reaction of feeling her ear getting kissed she
realized that this was NOT her boyfriend doing this. It wasn't slimey enough!
She automatically reahced for whatever had done this and grabbed hold of an
unusual feeling object that had attached itself to her shirt! She swirled
around swiftly just in time to catch a neighbor kid with a toy on a stick
laughing at her!
Xyanth:
The woman grabs her purse by the straps and quite angrily swats at the
mischief with it, "You little brat!" she exclaims, chasing after him a few
steps. He flees out of range, quickly, however, and she turns to resume her
walk up the path... As she comes to the door, the get her keys and unlocks
it, then walks inside, turning on light switch after light switch as she
wanders through her house. She heads down the hall, and into the den, which
leads back around into her study, and into the kitchen again. She gets
herself a sandwhich, but when she turns back to head into the study, she
notices the lights in the study are off again. Upon further investigation,
she noticed that also, the lights in the den and hallway were off. She went
back through, turning the lights on again, only to find that again, the
lights in the kitchen and every room she wasn't in were off.
Morticon:
SHe gets chills up her ottery spine as she realizes what just occured.
"Is--Is someone there?" She says, a bit of fright in her voice. "Gimme
Candy!" a voice yells, seeming to come from nowhere. "Alright.... WHo's
there?" She shouts again, the fear definantly showing in her voice now. She
leaves the sandwhich on the kitchen table and ponders on what she should do
next. Call the police? Search the house? Run like a bat out of heck?
Tarka:
It only takes her a moment to work out what to do... behing an otter she
thinks faster then most peope... she starts a good search of the house.
"Comeout comeout whereever you are! I got your candy right here!" She waves
around the kitchen knife that she picked up when she was thinking about
cutting up to munches.
"Give me Candy!"
Lilo perked her ears... the voice sounded like it came from the kitchen and
the lights were off... so she rushed into the kitchen and turned on the
lights! What she saw was like nothing in this world.
Stalker:
There in the kitchen was a three foot tall version of Gilbert Godfrey
shouting "Gimme Candy!" He even had his disgusting voice!. This was truely
the most terrifying sight to any otter or for that matter any creature.
Oh my god! She screamed as he came closer screaming "Gimme Candy!" Dropping
the knife without knowing, the vision too hard to accept for her poor
tortured mind. Lilo instinctively turned and ran to the front door. The three
foot abarition still on her heals screaming "Gimme Candy!"
Xyanth:
The woman can think of no place to find candy, "I--I don't *have* any!" the
hidious image slowly comes closer to her, but she's too terrified to move. He
hovers right in her face, the poor thing. All she can think to do is close
her eyes, but then he wanders back some, and she looks, partly, as his form
is suddenly blown into a blivion the same way a cloud of dust is washed away
by the wind. Suddenly, she blinks, and her eyes open, as she realizes she's
outside, and the wind is blowing fairly hard. She'd passed out in her walkway
to her house, somehow, and her ear is wet again, from that lick. She gets to
her feet, flicking her ottery tail slowly behind her as she observes the dark
yard, now quite frightened, and begins her way toward her front door again..
Morticon:
She shivers some more, and makes her way quickly to her house, locked the
door behind her. "I just passed out from fright.. no big deal... I'll be
fine... it was all a dream...." she thinks to herself reassuringly. She
looks at the leftover candy for a moment, thinking...
Tarka:
The leftover candy looks back at here and blinks to jaw braker eyes at her.
"Please young otter... don't give us away to those strange kids! They will
eat us?!" Little gumdrop tears start to fall to the floor below the pile of
candy.
Stalker:
Lilo rubs her eye's for a moment. Did that really happen? Now I'm seeing
candy pleading for sanctuary! I must have either eaten some bad food earlier
or that program of Silvester Stallone reciting "Hamlet" has warped my mind!
Then again I shouldn't have been watching such things anyway...
Maybe I should have just taken the evening off and slept, but then I would
have missed all this excitement. She thumbs through the TV guide looking for
something to take her mind off of the talking candy. After all, it had been
sitting in a warm room and was getting a bit mushy! Looking hard at the guide
all she could find was "The Rocky Horrer Picture Show on.
Xyanth:
An acorn falls out of the ceiling and hits her in the head, knocking her
unconscious...
Morticon:
Lilo leans against the couch, unconcious, as the Rocky Horror Picture Show
comes on VH1. She has bizzare dreams that night involving tranvestites and
song. She wakes up the next day on the couch, with some old music video
playing. "What a strange night!" She yawns as she gets ready for the new
day...
The End
