FFHT: The Night of the Dancing Pumpkins

Today I am participating in Murphy and Stanley's FFHT. 
Lady doesn't do jack-o-lanterns, but we do pumpkins. At least we did until that one fateful night -the night the pumpkins came alive!
Lady scoured the market to find the largest orangest pumpkins they had. It was a difficult task. I tried to help but there were too many good things to smell at the Chinese outdoor market, especially from the forbidden meat aisle. Lady is vegetarian. I am not. I wear a safety harness so I cannot go on the forbidden aisle easily. I can try. When she's unsuspecting and I pull really hard! Butt not today. Lady chose a few pumpkins of various sizes, shapes, and colors and sat them down by her feet while she continued on her quest. I checked them out with my pumpkin radar. I carefully marked the one I wanted. Lady scowled at me. What? Just wanted her to know which one I liked. I turned my attention to other smells. Next think ya know I am flat out on the ground under the large pumpkins! Guess they didn't like being marked. My head was spinning, my vision blurry, and my balance out of kilter. Pumpkins were everywhere and they were dancing all around me and laughing at me! Bwahahahahaha! They had these grotesque faces and funny smells. I tried to get up butt I couldn't. It was pawful! They kept dancing around me, laughing and howling and smelling and getting louder and louder and louder. HAHAHAHAHA! They laughed their maniacal laugh and danced their dastardly dance, and smelled their stinkiest smell, and I was helpless, helpless, helpless...
"Marley.   Marley.   Marley!    Marley!    MARLEY!!! WAKE UP! We're done here."
And that's why I will never turn my back on another pumpkin!.
