A Halloween scare

Halloween – it’s not all that scary today, but let me tell you a story that may make you think a little differently!

Sometime in school, when we had to read the story about Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow, it seemed appropriate that Halloween to do something original. Several of my friends decided to make a headless man from an old shirt and pants that we stuffed with straw. It was quite a work of art with the red poster paint around the headless neck of our creation. With the addition of some old boots it appeared almost real. “Headless,” we called him. Well, the question was, “What do we do with this masterpiece?”
