A Knife Cut Away from Justice
Killer, Jack the knife, escaped prison over the fence. Running into a pumpkin patch, he dove between the pumpkins. Out of breath, heart pounding, hoping not to be spotted by the guards, he heard a snap beside him.
A rustling shuffling something came to rest atop his hand. Trying to yank his hand out, his body tangled in pumpkin vines. The more he squirmed, the more entangled he became. Soon, covered from head to toe in vines strangling him he finally passed out.
Jack awoke transformed into a pumpkin about to be carved into a jack-o-lantern on the warden’s desk.
Great. Your content and the way of presenting is interesting.
