"Oh god" I moan. My head feels all groggy. My body feels like lead. I sit up and try to open my eyes and I'm greeted with an orangey light which isn't that bright. I open them wider and my surroundings seam strange. It seems like late morning and the sun is casting a warm glow upon these woods. The forest has skinny and tall green leafy trees but these ones that surround me in a circle aren't like any I've seen before. They all have big trunks and are so tall I can't see there tops. They don't possess leaves only naked branches. The bark is so out of place in this wood as well. The pattern they have are lines streaming down and it's much like the ground which is also odd. No grass only a many lines which form a spiral coming to the middle where I'm standing. My vision is still a little blurry and I can't quiet make out what's on the tree trunks so I rub my eyes hoping they improve.
I am truly discombobulated. I'm so confused. "Doors?!" I question aloud. There were doors on every tree but not just any doors. These had specific designs on them. They also had little tokens under the trunk.I turn around and try to identify the symbols. "An egg, clover, heart, a turkey, is that a fire cracker?" I ask again. I continue "a Christmas Tree?....and..and a pumpkin...." When I first glanced at the last door a violent tremor went through my bones. "Wow" I exclaimed. My bones are still vibrating. "These...these symbolize holidays!....but why....wait I've seen this before!! But it couldn't be!!!" My thoughts were interrupted by a meow.
I looked up and Strange was siting next to the Jack O'Lantern door. "Hey" I said relived that he was here. He kept meowing and began pawing the trunk impatiently. "You want me to.." I asked pointing to the door. He nodded his head. I was taken aback by his response but I thought I should trust him.
I took a couple of small steps toward it and with each one the vibrations became stronger. I was right in front of it where the tokens of little Jack O'lanterns here at mine and the trees feet. They were all carved different faces. My body was tingling all over. I reached out my hand for the door nob but hesitated looking down at my feline friend. He pawed my leg and nodded for me to continue. I took a deep breath and opened it.
It was dark inside and hollow. But then a breeze came within the tree as fall leaves came swirling out.The strong force of the wind pulled me in.
HOLY HELL IM FALLING!!! Now I know how Alice felt!
These is a warm orange mist around me and leaves are flying everywhere. I fall what feels like a great distance then suddenly there's a flash that looks like a white firework and I fall on what feels like the ground but it wasn't too hard of a fall.
The tingling sensation that I was having is being replaced by a new one but it's not pleasent. It feels like my bones are cracking stretching and shattering at the same time. I let out crys of pure agony. The pain is almost blinding and the only thing I can do is close my eyes. I'm clenching my teeth so hard i could break my jaw. I can only roll around in pain. And then it happens. I feel it. My skin is tearing apart, for the first time ever I feel the pain of my skin splitting. It's not impenetrable anymore. My head feels like it's about to explode and everything is in the worse pain imaginable. The only thing I can do is scream.
'LET ME DIE ALREADY!!!
Just let me die'
I think as the dark consumes me

IN HALLOWEEN TOWN

Every monster was in town square celebrating their frightfully joyous holiday. Their laughter and cheers and screams of delight. In the middle of it all was their king. A tall slender skeleton wearing a pinstriped suit and bat bow tie.
"This Halloween was I great triumph to use all!! I know I say this every year but every year it keeps getting better! I say it was our most horrible yet" he announces graciously to the crowd. The crowd cheered even louder but a black figure swiftly made his way through the crowd and came towards the skeleton. The crowd went silent and the figure whispered something to the king and pointed to wear the graveyard was.
Everyone looked that way and there was a huge gray cloud forming overhead.
Then there came screaming but not like any screams these monsters heard before. These were truly terrifying even to them.
The skeleton followed the figure and the towns people followed behind. When they got to the gate the screams had secced and the huge cloud turned into heavy mist. The figure pointed again a couple yards away to where something was on the ground and both him and the skeleton walked to where it was.
Some fog cleared and the object was revealed.
The skeleton gasped and took a few steps back. "Is that...." He stared but couldn't finish.
The figure simply nodded. The skeleton gazed upon the body again.
"We need to take her to the doctor"
