It's finally June, and the bugs and squirrels are leaving my trailer to live in the outdoors. I'm finally by myself. I'm ready to kickback, and have a nice peaceful summer. Especially after my last adventure/escapade that happened on Friday, May 23rd.
Now as everyone knows, each day I walk down the road from my trailer park to the gas station/liquor store for a couple bottles of wine, just to limber up my psychic powers each day. I find a bottle of wine helps me to contact the souls of the dead. Two bottles of wine keeps me in contact with the deceased all day long. That of course, is good for my business, since I am a psychic.
My friend Marie is the day manager at the store, and if I do a little cleanup around the place for her, she gives me two full bottles of wine, for free. The week of Friday the 23rd, I came into the store and found Maria in the storeroom weeping, and wiping her eyes and nose on her white blouse. I asked Maria what was wrong?
Marie told me that she had just been informed by upper management, that she would have to fill in and work the overnight shift on Friday. Marie then went on to tell me that for over a year, every clerk that worked the graveyard shift when the moon was full, was found the next day, and the next day, and the day after that. The graveyard shift was usually worked by a college kid, but when the moon turned full, the next morning, the kid's body parts were found all over the store property. The cops told Maria the kids were literally ripped apart.
"That's horrible," I said. "Who would and could do such a thing? I of course, am assuming it was not from natural causes, like eating antacid tablets after drinking pop and eating pickled Red Hots. They really bloat me up to the point I feel like I'm going to explode."
"Huh?" questioned Marie. "The authorities said these incidents were attacks by some super strong creature. Maybe a bear or something. What gets me is that they happen every month when the moon turns full. What bear pays attention to astrology or astronomy to plan it's attacks, and why would a bear just tear people apart and not eat any of the meat? Bears usually kill for food. At least that's what I've always thought."
I said, "Well, I found an arm in the toilet last month when I was cleaning. Didn't think much about it at the time When I walk around the trailer park, I often come across body parts, especially after a wedding, a funeral or our annual Frankenstein Event.
Marie asked, "What's the annual Frankenstein Event? Is it a scary house with monsters in it, and kids walk through it for candy?
" Not quite," I replied. For one thing, most of the kids in my park already live in trailers with monsters in them. Their parent's significant other is often someone right out of a horror flick. And candy? Most people where I live, stay alive eating government, handout beans, crackers and roadkill. No, our entertainment is free, except for the electricity used to make a corpse undead."
So, what do you people do for your event? Nothing illegal or immoral, I hope, or maybe someone should turn your park in."
"Really", I said, " we're just having some nearly free fun that entertains kids and adults, and we all take part during the year, gathering body parts we find down by the river, and then store them in Sam's meat freezer. On Halloween morning the body parts we have gathered, are unfrozen , and the best ones are selected to be stitched together. Of course, sometimes we don't have all the body parts we need, in which case, we substitute. If we only have left hands to chose from, we just sew a left hand to each arm. We always make it work, somehow. My park community is pretty smart, sometimes.
After a full moon, it is the best time to get the freshest body parts. No one really knows why?
Anyway, once the corpse is stiched together, the resulting body is struck up to the electrical line, with a switch setup to charge the corpse with lots of juice.
"What happens when you throw the juice?", Maria asked.
" Well, usually the corpse bumps around a couple of times, and then starts burning. Although one time, a lightening bolt struck the corpse at the same exact moment the creature was getting juiced, and the body stood up and danced around in a circle a couple of times before it burst into flames. That was quite a show. Especially for the little kids. It is primarily a family affair.
After I told her my Halloween story, Maria started to cheer up. Yes, the bodies always end up catching on fire, but a few wealthier families who think ahead and can afford a snack for their kids, bring along some chocolate bars, marshmallows and gram crackers, so the kids can have a Smores snack.
