~For the Halloween spook up my profile swap

Happy Halloween - I will be watching American Horror! :)

Hi, this is for the Halloween spook up my profile swap, I wanna share with you one of my favorites stories, I think is so lovely, I hope you like it!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

The girl with the green ribbon “A long time ago there was a little girl who had a green ribbon around her neck. One day she went to school and met a boy named Jim. Jim sat behind her in class and noticed the ribbon under her pig tails.

“Why do you wear that ribbon around your neck?” he asked. Someday I’ll tell you, she promised.

When they were teenagers, Jim asked the girl on a date. While they were drinking frappes, Jim asked again, “why do you wear that green ribbon around your neck?” She laughed nervously and said, “Well maybe if we ever get married I’ll tell you.”

Jim fell in love with the girl and they got married. In bed their first night, the only thing his new wife wouldn’t take off was the ribbon and he asked, “Okay, we’re married now…why do you wear that ribbon on your neck!” She said, “I’ll tell you if we ever have kids.”

After they had a boy and a girl, Jim asked again,”Please, please, please, WHY DO YOU WEAR THAT RIBBON AROUND YOUR NECK?!?!” She said, if you love me, you’ll drop it for now, some day I’ll tell you.”

So he dropped it. Just accepted the fact that his wife wore a mysterious ribbon around her neck all the time. They got old together, then the woman got very sick, went to the hospital, and the doctor said she was going to die. Her distraught husband sat by her side for days, and finally said, please, tell me now, why do you have that ribbon around your neck? In a croaky voice she said, okay, I’ll tell you, take it off now.”

He pulled the bow loose and her head fell off. ” — Alvin Schwartz, In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories

Hello there :) Glad to see you in my swap. Love the fact you are of the same option as me... Twilight does suck! Vampires do NOT sparkle!! Argh. Xx

I LOVE your artwork!!! Girl, you do a mean Kiefer! I'd love to love Supernatural but the most exciting scenes are too damned dark and because I'm so damned old I have to squint and that makes my pointy leetle damned head hurt and that just pisses me off so...no Supernatural for me.

Eh, it's ok. I'm more of a Spike gal anyway. =D

Because I could not stop for Death

by Emily Dickinson

Because I could not stop for Death

He kindly stopped for me

The Carriage held but just Ourselves

And Immortality.

We slowly drove – He knew no haste

And I had put away

My labor and my leisure too,

For His Civility

We passed the School, where Children strove

At Recess – in the Ring

We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain

We passed the Setting Sun

Or rather – He passed us

The Dews drew quivering and chill

For only Gossamer, my Gown

My Tippet – only Tulle

We paused before a House that seemed

A Swelling of the Ground

The Roof was scarcely visible

The Cornice – in the Ground

Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet

Feels shorter than the Day

I first surmised the Horses' Heads

Were toward Eternity

(and this alien character is a picture taken by my husband when we visited the UFO Watchtower in Hooper, Colorado)
