Halloween Faces

Halloween Faces

  My face does look strange, ever so strange. My face

is full of grotesque faces that stare and laugh at me

from the mirror's glass. They begin to eat my face

away, and become uglier and uglier, till my face is

gone, and all that's left is a menagerie of monster

faces that eat my body till it's gone!

  But then the Halloween children come thumping on

my door, they yell and threaten me. They have no 

faces, so I give them the sinister faces that have replaced 

mine, and then they leave to scare the neighbourhood.

  Then with relief I realise my body is growing back,

and when I look in the mirror I see my face has

returned, and it appears normal. It no longer looks

strange, it's covered with hundreds of eyes that stare

back at me!
