We picked up some pumpkins from the pumpkin patch today. I got a real big one like nearly the size of my head big! It took me and my two brothers to load it into the wagon.
I can't believe we're so lucky to get a big one. It takes forever to load it up onto the table and even longer to carve.
I nearly lost my hand trying to stick the knife in. I had to hack its top off it broke the blade of it and that was fun to dig out. Once I got the top off it took two bowls to get all the guts out.
I was really proud of myself as I carved a face into it. Such a big canvas for me to carve on.
I gave it a big toothy grin and big triangle eyes. I stick my hand into it's mouth to add a small candle to it.
Then I scream. It clamped down on my wrist bitting into my flesh with its unnaturally sharp teeth.
My brothers start laughing thinking I'm joking. Then they see the blood and I can't feel my hand.
My eldest brother starts hacking it open with dad's butcher knife. And it barely makes a dent. My vision spots and blackens.
It chomps further up and my brother slams the hatchet down hard. I black out. The last thing I heard was my brothers screaming for 911.
I woke up in the hospital, half my arm gone. None of my brothers are speaking nor is our father. That was the last time we got pumpkins for Halloween.
