After reading a couple of my kid's books like Raven's Gate and Harry Potter. Your story is no worse than the current stories that they read.
Very good!! I love how you weaved all of halloween into one story of love among all people. Very cool that they pumpkin people just had put pumpkins on their heads.
I love your story! I am tempted to steal it. I am going to tell this to my grandson, brcause I know he will love it; but I will give you all the credit.
Imaginative story and you wove all your parts together in such a clever way. This would make a terrific book. Have you read "Wicked" or any of that author's books?
Bravo, Bravo (as I stand at my computer clapping!) I always wondered where the candy came from ;) What an imagination...my kids would have been enthralled with this...and slept in my bed till the sun rose!
That was scary! Poor little girl getting burned at the stake and all. I thought I was already a follower. Now I know why you weren't showing up in my reader. LOL. Just a little slow, I am.
I trusted you; I gathered the neighborhood kids around me and read from my PC monitor. At the "their friend was burned alive, her skin melting" part, their parents all whisked them away. Thanks a lot.
And thanks for a great story, seriously. The one week I do a brief post, and you do this. Talk about a balance of nature...!
Just came back to make sure that I commented after reading. I really need to stop commenting while under the influence of muscle relaxers. Anyway, I see that I did. Just wanted to add that your creativity amazes me. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

trick or treat, i'm first!
wonderful otin...bravo...T enjoyed it as well...and now i know how it all fits together. nicely done.
Argh! They set fire to Hazel. I liked all of it except that part. I must be an empath. ;o)
Otin - you are a wonder. I had visions of "The Pointless Forest" and also of Calvin's dad (of "Calvin and Hobbes") telling whoppers.
Way entertaining.
aaaarrrrrooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Very, very clever! :)
Have you been taking the pain meds again? Makes for very creative dreams. LOL
Now I know the story of Halloween. And to think all these years, I was in the DARK.
very good Otin! You didn't miss a Halloween detail!
I'm going to have nightmares tonight thanks to you!
I'm with Matty... Now I am in the know and can spread the tale of Hallow's Eve.
Youre a gem otie :0
Loved that the dad turned into a lizard at the end...
Cute story..
Angel May- I do realize that the burning part would be a bit intense for children! :)
LMB- The dad was not the lizard!
Maybe it was a Lootik or just a little boy's imagination!
A short story! I love Halloween!

Thinking of a meeting place!
That was great.
Hallowians? You're a genius, Otin! Halloween finally makes sense to me. This is the best Halloween story ever. Thanks!
Otin, wow, I'm impressed dude. Very enjoyable.
Happy Halloween.
I thought the father was looking in the room and the son could see his reflection off the window....
Wow - you certainly have an imagination! This is great - I enjoyed it!
That is the best Halloween story EVER! I'll have to sleep with the light on tonight :-)
Great job.
You outdid yourself on this one Otin. Loved every bit of it. I'm with Dar aaarrrooooooooooooooo!
Mmmmmm, I love candy corn, Pumpkin Man. I always wondered what the history of it was and now I know. Great story, Wizard.
You scare the crap out of me!!!
Was that really a lizzard???
*grin* I loved the story and I could eat candy corn by the truck load.
Mwaaaaaahahahaha. Good show Otin. Burning Hazel at the stake was a little gruesome, but I loved every bit of your story.
An excellent read as always!
Now I want candy corn...
There is always some evil in every part of Halloween, we must expect some of it!
Secretia
Gosh, I hope you haven't told these stories to any real kids!! Willies!!
Great story!!! I loved it!!!
I love all your explanations of "all things Halloween" Otin, extremely creative, as usual!

Great story. So imaginative. I really liked the Lootiks.
A beautifully woven tale!
I really liked how you did this, weaving everything together. That was a fun one to read.
I've never had an interest in Halloween until your story. You really know how to write.
Ahhhh, this was nothin' but fun. EXCELLENT STORY!
What a great storyteller you are, Otin. Happy Halloween.
Ooh! How about a Thanksgiving story next?
Geez Dude. You are really talented. So when you are going to publish? ;)
Loved how you tied all the traditions in! I hope I never have to visit the Demon Forest!
Oh I LOVE this one, Otin! I think that's the best Halloween story I've ever read! Nicely done! :)
nice twist at the end!
hey,very cool...and a nice ending! What no gross bloody decapitated eyebulgingheads&headless bloody corpses? Boo!

Poor Roy. He got it all wrong, then?

Dude, with just a little bit of polishing up and an illustrator, you have a great children's book here. I'm serious, you should look into it.
I can't imagine how long that took for a two-fingered typist but well worth the wait. Sorry I'm so late! Have a great weekend and fun in New York!
