Oh please, children. A disclaimer? Obviously I'm not the creator.
"Mother, father, what will I do without you?"
Shannon kicked a stone on
the forest floor lazily as she trudged through a thick forest.
Her
long curly black hair had been neglected, making it look wild and yet
incredibly striking. Hazel eyes peeked out from beneath unkept
bangs, looking sad and forlorn. She was short and thin from
starvation, resembling some sort of skeleton-like creature.
And
she was never more beautiful to the Pumpkin King.
The Pumpkin King, who had watched her in the forest for several weeks now not daring to approach.
For, who knows, she could be repproachful.
The girl now sat upon a log, weeping again for her lost family and trying to piece her life back together.
"Mother, father, what will I do without you?"
"Come with me,"
he whispered on the wind as he told the trees to hold her close.
Her
tears gave the dead branches life again, as she leaned into them
sobbing.
"Shannon.."
She
looked up sadly, trying to find the familiar voice.
And she died.
