Author's Note: Huge hugs goes to Cokie for posting this as well as the friendship she's given me over the past couple of months. This one's over 100 words, but I'll plead lack of practice. It's been a while without the Weekly Boring Meetings. g As always, any and all feedback is appreciated.

The eyebrows rose high in an unusual display of surprise. "Does the disfiguration imbue these 'Jack o' Lanterns' with such power?"
Jack couldn't keep the snort from escaping. Luckily, Daniel's chuckle helped to hide the unattractive sound. "It's a superstition, Teal'c. It's really just a pumpkin cut up with a candle inside."
The silence was loud until broken by a weary sigh.
