You wake up to find yourself surrounded by orange walls and gigantic pieces of candy. You then look up in horror to see your gigantic sister looking down at you from an opening above. “ trick or treat my little candy brother..” she says. She then giggles and reaches in slowly.…..

She picks you up and places you on a hard plastic bed. You realize you are inside her dollhouse, and your limbs have become tootsie rolls. You can’t move at all, and you smell an overwhelming sugar fear musk coming from your candy flesh.

There's a tap at the dollhouse door & it opens to reveal a frazzled Barbie. Your sister once left it in the rain & now the doll looks like a bleached Bride of Frankenstein in pink. The doll hop-walks to you, your sister's hand steadying it, and tugs at your candy wrapper sleeves.

Rattle snakes begin to fall from the sky and a herd of brightly colored hearses (the exact model the Addams Family drove) rolls across your vision. You start to regret the third tab you put under your tongue, but there’s not much you can do about it now.

You grab onto one of the hearses and get behind the wheel. You could feel the car spinning out of control. “There’s nothing for it,” you think as you close your eyes and put the pedal to the metal.

Or is it petal to the medal? Peddle to the meddle? Anyways, the hearse drifted before screeching to a halt. The doors in the back flew open, sending the coffin flying straight towards a hole in the ground. Job well done.
