PURPLE PRANK

Jake, well-known for pranks, thought it would be funny. His class had studied "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." He planned a re-creation of the character for Halloween.  Zack  provided something that would create cool purple smoke. Jake cut a hole in the bottom of the pumpkin, carved the face, and pulled his all-black outfit together. Unfortunately, the hole was a bit tight for his head. Once he got it on, he couldn't get it off. . . .the purple smoke burned his eyes, nose and throat.  Added to the smell of the pumpkin, he thought he might throw up -- disgusting.  He knew he had to get out of this pumpkin head.  He could dash his head against a wall -- if he could see how to get to it --  it was impossible to see anything except purple haze. Luckily, Katy came up -- also dressed in black -- a ninja?  She pulled a knife and cut, freeing Jake from the pumpkin prison. Just in time, as he tossed up the contents of lunch, along with purple smoke and a bit of pumpkin. He washed his face, brushed his teeth, added a black hood, some toy nunchucks and left Sleepy Hollow behind,  Katy's hand in his.
