illustration - halloween edition

Here are 12 Halloween illustrations that could use a body of words in
explanation.  What kind of stories would you write?

I saw thousands of pumpkins last night
come floating in on the tide,
bumping up against the rocks and
rolling up on the beaches;
it must be Halloween in the sea.
- Richard Brautigan, The Pill Versus the Springhill Mine Disaster

Suddenly the day was gone,
night came out from under each tree and spread.
- Ray Bradbury, The Halloween Tree

Dear Great Pumpkin, Halloween is now only a few days away. Children
all over the world await you coming. When you rise out of the pumpkin
patch that night, please remember I am your most loyal follower. Have
a nice trip. Don't forget to take out flight insurance.
- Charles M. Schulz, The Complete Peanuts, Vol. 6: 1961-1962

I've already posted about Beatriz, and I'm going to again because her work
is so packed with stories just asking to be told in words.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.
- Pablo Picasso

These are darling stories - drawn goldfish swimming to life, bathing by lily pads, napping with the birds, death by flower.  They call out for words written to explain them.  So beautiful.
