Halloween Creepypastas Part 3

THIN PLACES
"They’re called thin places," he told me. "Places where the veil between this world and the next is very thin."

"And?"

"And, I went to one of them. On Halloween. I thought it would, I don’t know, double the power, or something. I communed with the spirits. I talked to my loved ones who have passed on. It’s real. It happened."

"Look, if that’s what you believe, then fine, but -"

"Just listen to me! They told me I shouldn’t have come. They said that other spirits wanted a way into this world to take care of unfinished business. Bad unfinished business!”

He was talking faster now.

"They told me… they told me I’m the portal. That’s the penalty for using a thin place to talk to the dead."

"What the hell did they mean? How can a person be a portal?"

"Look," he whispered.

As he undid his shirt, I took a good look at his torso. On one shoulder, a hand was quickly forming. In the abdomen, a face.

I ran. The wet, tearing sounds came, and he began to scream.

OUR FIRST TRICK OR TREAT
I couldn’t wait for my son’s first Halloween. He was born into our family just a month before, so I know he wouldn’t remember much. But I lovingly crafted a cute little pumpkin outfit for him to wear, made only from the softest and most gentle of fabric. We would just take a little walk down the street, get a few bits of candy and make our way back- wouldn’t want to expose my darling to the cold for too long.

My husband tried to talk me out of it, tell me that maybe it wasn’t a good idea. I hushed his voice out of my head as I strapped the tiny decaying body to the stroller.

I know what’s best for my son after all.

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan...

Hans and Hilda

Once upon a time there was an old miller who had two children who were twins. The boy-twin was named Hans, and he was very greedy. The girl-twin was named Hilda, and she was very lazy. Hans and Hilda had no mother, because she died whilst giving birth to their third sibling, named Engel, who had been sent away to live wtih the gypsies. Hans and Hilda were never allowed out of the mill, even when the miller went away to the market. One day, Hans was especially greedy and Hilda was especially lazy, and the old miller wept with anger as he locked them in the cellar, to teach them to be good. "Let us try to escape and live with the gypsies," said Hans, and Hilda agreed. While they were looking for a way out, a Big Brown Rat came out from behind the log pile. "I will help you escape and show you the way to the gypsies' campl," said the Big Brown Rat, "if you bring me all your father's grain." So Hans and Hilda waited until their father let them out, ...
