A Whimsical Halloween Flash Fiction.
James and the giant peach with a twist!
Jake’s father works for NASA, where they plan to Jettison a pumpkin into space during a Halloween special event. After his friend draws a face on the gourd, Jake takes up a personal connection with it. It may have to do with his parent’s recent separation. The event could be key in a meaningful reconnection between father and son.
Excerpt
The way it went with the pumpkin from launch to void would remain a mystery to Jake, but what follows was the way things occurred thereafter.
The patriotic pumpkin was jettisoned into the lifeless void of space, and though the jovial grin of the jack-o-lantern floated serenely into the quiet expanse, the inside of the furrowed, floating fruit (and yes it is a fruit) teamed with action as the Harvesters began their work.
The accidental astronauts within the squash were oblivious to the location of their biological spacecraft and went about planting as usual. Safely sealed within the orange orb, they sowed the seeds inside the interior of the rind and tended to them daily.
Little did these miniature martians know that they were on trajectory to a little known lifeless planet named Nimue.
Tasked by his Goddess to find, relocate, and then quicken, the last three Heart Tree gem-seeds, Vanx the bard, and his motley crew of adventurers, set out to do just that.
