I grew up near a haunted lake. 

I lived in a haunted house. 

And now, for fun I write stories 

that are 

haunting. 

Today is October 1st 

and 

Halloween is on its way. 

there’s nothin in the world
that you can do
you gotta come on up to the house
and you been whipped by the forces
that are inside you
come on up to the house
well you’re high on top
of your mountain of woe
come on up to the house
well you know you should surrender
but you can’t let go
you gotta come on up to the house
