Halloween Man or Grandpa?
Jimmy, a country boy lived with his grandma. Jimmy was only nine and had already seen or known the world a lot, though he never understood his Grandma much. Jimmy thought it would always remain a mystery for him why grandma was always worried about him. Jimmy was unaware of the fact that for Grandma he is everything in this world.
Jimmy did not go to school, the tiny bit of education he used to have was from his Grandpa, who passed away six months ago. Jimmy missed him a lot. Without Grandpa Jimmy felt as alone as Crusoe. As the Halloween day approached memories of Grandpa ate Jimmy up. On Halloween day they together did loads of stuff, which Jimmy could not have done alone. Grandma used to tell him that Grandpa has traveled to the world of aliens, to get an alien for Jimmy. And hearing this Jimmy used to cheer up.
It was midnight when Jimmy lay on his bed staring at the stars, through the window. When suddenly Whoosh! went something dazzling through the sky. Jimmy startled up at the thought, “was that a UFO??”And then thinking for a while he concluded it to be a falling star, and thought, “I am too big to believe that there are UFO’s”. Jimmy then quickly made a wish.
The next day (which was the Halloween day), Jimmy had spent the whole day lazily. He didn’t want to celebrate Halloween. At night when the party was almost over, Jimmy went to the party to be with his friends, but he was too late. They all had gone. Jimmy stood alone in the party venue. The decorations were still there and the music was still on. He sighed and turned back to get back home. As he stepped ahead, suddenly there was such a vibration on the earth that he fell down on his knees. He got scared and there was such a shrill noise that he had to close his eyes and cup his ears. After minute’s of chaos everything cooled down. Jimmy slowly peeped from behind his hand and what did he see! A spaceship infront of him. The door opened and there was an alien standing there. But to Jimmy’s shock the alien came out, it was a “Halloween Man” .He thought ‘A Halloween Man in a spaceship, is that a joke!’
The Halloween Man said, ”Hello Jimmy!” Jimmy was spellbound, he knew that voice, it was the voice he missed so much. Jimmy yelled, “Grandpa!” He quickly ran and hugged him. He couldn’t believe that his wish was granted’ (remember the wish he made last night thinking the dazzling thing to be a UFO). Jimmy exclaimed, “Wow!!Got my Grandpa and a Halloween Man together, what a lovely Halloween you made it Grandpa!” On their way back home Jimmy asked Grandpa, “Was that your spaceship last I saw last night? And Grandpa smiled at him.
At late night Jimmy had a party with his loving family, but Grandpa had to get back. Grandpa promised to meet Jimmy every Halloween. Jimmy did not feel lonely or sad anymore, as he knew he had his ever-loving Grandpa with him, and ofcourse Grandpa was always there in their heart. Grandpa’s spaceship vanished and became a dazzling star in the sky.
(NOTE: Halloween man is mere created character in this story. It is a man with a pumpkin head.) |
