This past Halloween I was asked to go to a Halloween Party. I told my friend sounds great but I literally have no costume. She said, “Think of something.” Thus, Lantern Jack was born.
Jack was a simple man working on his farm trying to make ends meet to keep his dream alive. He was going to be a large organic production man to make it big, however the government did not like his success. They asked if he would sell to them to turn the land into one of there production farms for mass product not quality. He refused them and carried on his way.
He employed many people who lived by the nearby county and was always friendly. He would take percentages of sales from these poor working. People were touring his land and in his mind he made it. He gave his all so his county would flourish but still be a great community not just a place for people to stay. But once again the government did not like this because they had no control. They tried to buy him out and he did not fold.
Finally, one day after he met the love of his wife. She loved what he was doing with the community and the kindness he gave to all. She was enamored with him and wanted to be with him. He loved her kindness and beauty and knew in his heart that she was the one. It was Fall of 2018 and the government stopped by one more time. “Hello. Jack. I am Mr. Carter and this is Ms. Worthington. We have been working hard to make you a good deal and our final offer.” Grabbed a large folder from his assistant sneering towards Jack. “It is a great deal take a look.” Jack told the man, “For the Final Time No I do not want it.” The man left that morning.
Later, after Jack finished his work for the day he was leaving out of his barn when he got jumped by three men. Beaten and dragged through the field where these men hung him on a post with his head covered by a Jack O Lantern. They laughed as they walked off and drove to the nearby hotel to report to Jack’s guest for the morning. At this time Jack’s now fiance pulled up to his home wondering why he did not meat her for the local dance. She walked to the barn where she could see her love in the field hung from this post. She ran to him and there within his bowels a scickle petruded from his innards as he lied lifeless. She pulled the sickle from his guts as he collapsed to the ground. Blood soaked through his flannel. She beg for his returned from whomever could return him to her side. A man appeared and said, “I will grant this for you. However, he will be mine and you will be too when I see fit.” Jack’s fiance agreed. A few words were whispered into Jack’s ears. She was asked to leave him in the barn tonight and return home or it will not work. So she did.
Scratching came from the hotel door. Mr. Carter awaken by this called out through the door, “Who is there?’ This woke up the nude Ms. Worthington from her slumber next to Mr. Carter. “What is it?” She said. “Shut up, Woman!! It could be the private investigator my wife hired. “Fuck You!” She exclaimed. Mr. Carter responded, “Bitch we did that already. Now Shut Up!!” She stormed to the bathroom. Mr. Carter slowly looked out the window and saw no one. He open the door just then the hall lights flickered and now standing in front of him was Lantern Jack with his menacing grimace and large sickle in hand . Lantern Jack grabbed Mr. Carter by his throat and lifted him in the air. “No Deal.” As Lantern Jack gutted Mr. Carter. A scream was heard in the room as the bathroom door slammed shut. Panicked and in the tub Ms. Worthington screamed in terror as the door crashed open. The next day the guess woke to a horrific vision of Mr. Carter and Ms. Worthington hanging by sickle in the hallway of the hotel.
