Pumpkins

It is July among the corn fields. But no matter, for pumpkin season begins in summer. You can feel them Watching You.

Now, you keep your gaze out of the corners of your eyes as you try not to watch them back. They are not impatient. They will wait. It is only a matter of time before you make a mistake, and when that happens they will be there for you.

So squeeze your eyes shut and forget, little one. They need you to forget.

Yes, it is only a matter of time.
