I've got a lot of cliffhangers…mwahahaha

THIS IS HALLOWEEN

The room was trashed. Make up and stationery covered the floor. A mirror had been smashed to bits so that when Valary moved it showed a hundred Valarys moving. What was more intriguing was the fact that Annabelle wasn't there.

Valary sighed. She figured that Annabelle had run off home. Feeling rather glum she went to exit the room when she noticed a peculiar painting on the wall. It was a huge picture of a pumpkin with brooding eyes and a nasty grin on its face. Valary's stomach twisted, for the painting was rather frightening. It seemed to leer right at her, as if it was actually watching her.

Boys and girls of every age,

Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

Valary whipped around, her eyes wide with terror. Who spoke? She looked back at the pumpkin and had the craziest thought that it had sung the rhyme. Moving closer to the pumpkin she noticed how strange it seemed, almost like it wasn't there though she could see it. It was neither transparent nor ghost-like, rather a 2D image covering something. Transfixed by its strangeness she moved closer. She could hear ghastly music, so faint that she thought she might be imagining it. Its tune was simple but rather eerie.

In this town we call home

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

Standing in front of the pumpkin, it seemed to beckon to her. She was so absorbed in it that she didn't realize her hand was reaching towards it. Her eyes became blank. Spellbound, she touched the wall… and felt nothing.

Then she was swallowed up by the picture, falling into the nothingness, her body paralyzed with terror and her ears filled with the eerie song of unsaid voices.

My first attempt at horror…or something like it.

This is short, but the next one's longer…
