Essence of Fall

Leaves are changing to vibrant colors of orange, yellow, and red. Drifting to the cold ground, painting the streets. The wind gossips amongst the leaves of a chill in the air and a storm that is soon to come. Luminous orange faces perch on porch steps, waiting for ghoulish figures to wander the dark, begging for treats of the season. Fear muses over the anticipation of it's next victim. A frigid scream breaks the air. Silence is left hanging...Then...in the corner of a shadow, a deep voice resonances a seductive snicker.
