HIS HEART SOARS WHEN he sees her there on the street. She and her companions are the only ones who have come tonight, but that’s okay. She has to be the one. The pumpkins tell him in their strange and magical voices that she will come to him. They tell him to call to her, and he does. He cries out in a voice that only she will hear. He wonders if she will return.

He delights in the prospect. She has to come to him. She would make a wonderful friend. He knows she’s the one. And then she leaves with the other boys, and he is crushed. His world collapses. The crushing weight of disappointment is almost unbearable.

He tells himself she will come back. She must.

And she does.

Carol climbs out her window at midnight. The witching hour. She makes her way to the car, hops in and puts the old clunker in neutral. The driveway is steep enough for gravity to do the work. She gets in, careful to leave her door opened a crack, and the station wagon rolls into the street.

She starts the engine and pulls the door closed when she knows she is safe to do so without waking her parents. Then she drives straight to Donnerly House, abandoning her plan to attend Danny’s party.

She is compelled to return, even though some infinitesimal voice is trying to reason with her, trying to warn her that she is being foolish, that nothing good can be waiting for her there.

She isn’t listening to that voice, though. There is another one speaking to her now. It is a powerful voice, but it is filled with love and warmth, kindness and comfort.

She exits the car and walks into the pumpkin patch.

As the vines encircle her, begin twisting up her legs and curling around her torso and arms, she sees Tommy Rotten standing no more than ten feet in front of her. She knows that he is the one that called to her, and sees that he is beautiful. He won’t let this happen. He will stop them. He will surely rescue her.

She watches as he smiles and opens his arms to accept her in his tender embrace. But it is not to be. The vines are winding around her throat now. Cutting off her air supply. They are so strong. Her eyes are bulging out of their sockets, and her bladder has let go. Absurdly, this embarrasses her. The vines pull her down, enveloping her in the putrid field of rotting pumpkins, and as they overpower her, and pull her to the ground, she knows she isn’t going home tonight. She understands with no small amount of irony that she has been tricked.

The vines around her throat constrict with a final burst of murderous strength, panic sets in and she tries to grab at them, to pull them off, but her body does not respond. Her hands and feet are tightly secured and have been pulled out to her sides. If someone sees her, they may think she is about to make a pumpkin patch angel.
