The room was dark except for the orange glowing string of LED lights that hung from one end of the window to the other. The orange lights cast the furniture (a couch, a coffee table, two arm chairs and an end table) into shadow. Small ghost figurines on the coffee table threw orange shadows on the table because of the glowing orange string of lights. Normally they would be white. The smell of candy corn drifted from the end table and a witch’s hat lay skewed at one end of the couch. Sticky caramel goop lay in a puddle on the floor and the smell of sour apple schnapps wafted from the next room. There was a glowing pumping on the mantle placed as a center piece. Next to the pumpkin on the mantel piece sat a yellows plastic cup with an inch of flat sprite left. Next to the cup was a cheap red lighter. The orange hanging lights began to flicker giving the pumpkin a sister grin it’s carved face flashing in and out of sight. The mouse that snuck out of its hidey hole to nibble at the stocky caramel glob caught its paw n a pile of white spider web.
