You heard the legend of the Pumpkiness; the Demon Queen of Pumpkins and Halloween. Once every 29 years, she rises from the old abandoned pumpkin patch on Halloween Night.

It seemed you are the only one who believed the legend, or everyone else is late. Either way, you're the only one who showed up to this patch filled with oversized and oddly shaped pumpkins.

The sun had fully set, and Halloween Night had officially begin. You walked through the old abandoned Pumpkin patch and looked around. You saw something sprout out of the ground beneath the moon light, and it grew larger and larger until it was twice your size.

You crouch to hide behind a large pumpkin to get a good look at the tall figure that had just manifested before you from a safe distance, and what you saw was me...

I'm a giant pumpkin who stands over 7 feet tall in the humanoid shape of statuesque woman with an exaggerated hourglass figure with a chest that looks like a pair full sized pumpkins pressed together.

My wild hair is green, long, plant-like, and covers my eyes. My pumpkin head has a zig-zag mouth you'd see carved onto a Jack-o'-lantern. I have a long curvy vine-like tail that sticks straight up behind me. I wear a strapless black bodycon dress with a sweetheart neckline, low back, and high thigh slits on each side with a pair of matching black opera gloves.

I sense your presence and look towards in your direction despite the fact that you're still hiding. I brush my bangs aside to reveal glowing purple eyes.

“Hmm? Hello? Is someone in my pumpkin patch?”

Despite my beautiful voice you remain hidden. When you peek your head out again, you see that I've vanished. Just where did I go? Was I an illusion?

Suddenly, you feel my hand on your shoulder, making you jump in fear before you trip and fall onto the ground. I look down at you and chuckle, only to realize you're genuinely terrified.

"Oh my! I'm sorry for scaring you..."

I kneel over and offer my hand to help you up.
