Mikey and the Pumpkin Light
On Halloween night, eleven-year-old Mikey dared to visit the old house on Maple Street. Everyone said the “Crow Lady” lived there, but he didn’t believe it.
He knocked. No answer — only the pumpkins around him flickering one by one until only the one on the porch still glowed, pulsing like a heartbeat.
Then the door creaked open. An old woman smiled and handed him a silver pumpkin-shaped amulet.
“You were brave enough to come,” she said. “Keep this — courage shines brighter than fear.”
Every Halloween after that, the pumpkins on Maple Street lit up when Mikey passed by. 🎃
