Halloween Descriptive Writing

"Dark Thoughts of Halloween at the Jane Roof Top Bar" (Fiction) Tentative title.

The strange atmosphere was so thick at the Jane that one would need a butcher knife to cut through it Tonight was Halloween. It was eerily quiet....except for the glib talk of the small crowd of bohemian patrons. They casually talked about the holiday All Hallowed Eve. Auntie Carol mentioned she believed in reincarnation. That she was in a past life a Titanic victiim. That notion she confided in her friend made her think of herself as wanting to always come up for air

This was the evening the guests there believed was the eve where the spirits were set free. It was when even the blind could sense a feeling of uneasiness. Virtually everyone

including the young personable bartender was conscience that this was no conventional night.
The bar was filled with practically every square foot with bizarre knickknacks. One of the strangest was a set of four brass hands on the wall with a lightbulb in the palm. The fingers were reaching out in a curled position. As if if one wasn't careful they would grab you and never let go. There were a number of deer heads, organ grinder monkeys twisted in weird positions
Two women , Lady Lynda and Auntie Carol wondered why they picked such an eerie place. The ladies smiled with delight as they saw the many guests of the bohemian style lounge in their many Halloween costumes. Some were dressed as vixen withces and sexy warlocks. Others in myriad number of colorful costumes. The forty something couple dressed so fashionably in the height of fashion in the era of the Titantic caught their attention the most
The woman was dressed in a silk high waisted bodice and flowing skirt.

Top part of her evening gown to the bottom of her breast was done in the most intricate brocade that resembled songbirds all a flutter On her neck were 1910s style diamond necklace with chunks of jewels of white brilliance. Attached to the necklace were more diamonds with one of them dangling centrally down. Her pearl hued elbow length fancy gloves went well with her dress. Her curly hair was in a topknot that showed off her soft dove like eyes. Her features were pert. Her male companion was the height of fashion for that era. On his head was a black stovepipe hate. His hair was dark brown, parted in the middle. His "Arrow" style starched collar complemented so dashingly his vested suit and matching navy suit

jacket,slacks.
The Titantic couple seemed to Lady Lynda and Auntie Carol rather out of place being dressed as the expression goes to the nines in this unseasonably warm weather. It looked as if authenticity was the couple's first priority The mood at the chic rooftop suddenly grewquiet. If was as if the guests there was anxiously waiting for a quite important announcment
"We' d like to shake everyone's hand here....to show our hospitality to you all." We'll start with these two women dressed in the latest 50s fashion" the woman announced.

Lady Lynda and Auntie gushed with pride. As the two friends and colleagues shook the partner's hands they immediately noticed a sensation of cold clammy flesh. Toze's wife and Herman Emma's partner explained the coldness as a sudden drop the drop in temperature. At least she hoped that was the reason.
The two women nervously perused their surroundings. The lounge furniture, the bohemian retro knick knacks, the glam chandeliers seemed the same except for the sudden icy cold gust. Next moment the two dressed to the teeth in the height of 1912 fashion perused the room. As they did so lights suddenly flickered. The fingers of hands with the bulb in their palms made grasping movements. Many of the patrons including Auntie Carol, Lady Lynda started screaming. Virtually every heart took a sudden leap. Some of the tipsy guests wondered if they were only imagining what was happenng to them.
The cassette tape was playing the old 50s song "Little Demon" by Screaming Jay Hawkins. The chorus of nonsense syllables sent chills down the listeners spines. Hawkins with his high pitched shrieks and sudden moans sounded as if he was summoning demons. "Hard as a rock, dry as a bone...Big or little, know that I will take you home.I really don't like it...ain't nothin'I can do.I really don't like it...I'm leaving it to you." The song fit perfectly the Eerie miliue of the rooftop bar.
The patrons rushed toward the elevators. Just then Auntie Carol as she ran to the elevator noticed the hypnotizing cluster of jewels on the Titantic women's wrist. Their power overwhelmed her. She strove to escape but soon realized it was futile. They were calling and she must do their bidding. Auntie Carol was compelled to follow the ghostly woman.
"If you follow me you I'll give you a surprize that you'll never forget." the ghost woman told Auntie Carol. Lady Lynda's friend and fellow etiquette expert was intrigued yet nervous. She was silent trying to see how she should react. Especially when she no idea the surprize. It could be a trap she skittishly thought. She felt her skin getting clammy despite the cool temperature of the room. All she sensed she could do was to wait and see. She stood there staring at what she understand as the abyss. She cautiously reminded herself that she was in the realm of the unknown and it was best she'd be careful. This was real. It wasn't a dream.
Lady Lynda watched in horror as she saw her friend follow the ghostly couple. The scene reminded her of children's fairy tales where the innocent little girls and boys are lured by monsters disguised as sweet friendly creatures. She observed the spirits softly cooing like canaries at Auntie Carol to come hither with them. She noticed too the man pretty much stayed behind but still holding hands with his partner.
"I know where you are taking me" Auntie Carol said in a hypnotic tone to the couple.

Hearing what her colleague said made Lady Lynda feel in deep bad humor. Her heart began to palpate. It was too early to tell what would happen next. Where were they leading her? Could she escape in time?

Soon within minutes Auntie Carol found out. The female apparition pointed to the clock. "The time will quickly pass. You will find yourself as if surrounded by cold icy water. Then there will be peace. Then you are going to be as before but with a knowledge you never knew.

The woman closed her eyes for a moment. She relived her incarnations Titanic drowning. and then she opened them and the couple was gone. There was a sense of peace. The visions were gone never to come back any more.

"Auntie Carol" my poor dear. What happened?!!! Auntie Carol gleefully replied. " My nightmare is finally ended. I'm free from a burden that affected me all my life. I finally faced my fears. Free at last. No more nightmares of the Titanic as Poe would of said for ever

more."
