Microfiction Monday, Halloween Pictorial, and Musings

The wolf made such a lasting impression

on Little Red Riding Hood

that right then and there

(being true to herself)

she let her inner witch out

For details on the "rules" of participation, please visit Susan over at Stony River.

Our Halloween Pictorial

Four Gourds Gutted

Here is what became of them.

The "Apple", carved by Bethany,

was the hit of the night 

and frightened many a PC user. 

Hello. My name is Minerva McGonnigal,

Headmistress of Gryffindor House. 

Allow me to introduce you to my favorite student,

Harry Potter.

(yes, I know Munch was Harry last year

but he really liked his costume)

Grayback showed up in our kitchen

in search of his prey, the young Potter boy. 

Harry, being the masterful wizard he is,

subdues Grayback, with the help of his Godfather,

Sirius Black (in animagus form).

Bethany was going to a party at the Church.

She is St. Felicity, a slave of St. Perpetua

in the 3rd century AD. 

She was martyred for her faith 

shortly after giving birth to her baby. 

Good friends and neighbors 

ready for All Hallow's Eve.

It's just too painful to talk about the Carolina Panthers so I won't.

Before I close I must tell you a story:  Mr. Sister and I attended a Halloween costume party Friday night. A woman, scantily clad as a firefighter, came up to my husband and said, "Did you come alone, because you certainly are the pick of the litter!"  Apparently I was near but I did not hear this. It gave me a good chuckle when Mr. Sister relayed the pick up line to me. I believe he was quite flattered. I know I was because I certainly do have "the pick of the litter"!

That's it for today. Make it a great week, my friends and enjoy this beautiful autumn weather.
