Trick or Treat…But Watch Your Back

Halloween is one week away…let’s get in the mood with a little sumpin’ sumpin’…

The Pumpkins Have Their Day

The pumpkins are gone-
they’ve disappeared!
We don’t know where they’ve gotten!

Why just this week,
we carved them up,
and hoped they’d not go rotten.

But late this eve
I checked outside,
and not one pumpkin was found.

I check the street
to see that not
one pumpkin tossed to the ground.

So late this night,
I sit and ponder,
but pondering is for naught.

A knock at the door,
A creak on the floor,
And now an answer I’ve got!

For there they stood,
a hundred and two,
glaring lanterns in my room.

A fright’ning display,
I tried to run,
but my home would be my tomb.

“A thousand years,
you’ve sliced us up,
and displayed us on your lawn.

“A year from now,
I’m sure you’ll find,
this tradition surely gone.

“Now bend you over,
darling dear,
and let me see your head.

A puncture here,
a slice there,
and surely you’ll be dead!”

A nasty stab,
a little pain,
and the light of a little torch.

The irony is,
here I sit,
A lantern on my front porch.

    Hi, my name is Rupert. I am working on a new Sci-fi project called Kirill, in conjunction with Microsoft MSN and Digital Studios (a little digital studio part of Endemol UK). We would really like your opinion and feedback on the project so far.

    Why you? Because I have trawled the internet looking for people who we would want to be ‘the audience’ of Kirill, and we think you may well be one of those people
    Here is the link to the video introducing the whole concept and explaining a little more: http://www.kirilluncovered.com/?p=16

    Please email me back and I’ll send you more info.

    Kind Regards,
    Rupert

    Hi Geekvolution,

    Hope you are well.

    We tried to get into contact with you the other day but I’m not sure if you received it. It mentions a new Sci-Fi drama called Kirill and I was hoping you would like to be involved.

    Would you be interested in mentioning something on your blog or even hosting the short episodes? We really just want to get it in front of the right audience and see what they think and gauge their opinion.
    I have the teaser trailer, episode 1 & 2, info on the story & characters and behind the scenes content.

    All the embed codes are on the Kirill hub below, so the video’s are easy for you to upload.

    I would really like your blog to be involved, so please let me know what you think?

    Kind Regards,

    Rupert
