World Vegetarian Day

$ prompt for Mike's October HallOctobereen.

By Novel AllenPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Halloween dawns with not a human soul in sight. Its HallOctobereen .

The camels, aurochs, beiras, beavers, chevrotains, antelopes and every vegetable eating animal that one could imagine, were on the hunt for food.

Back in October, the 1st to be exact - a strange and puzzling thing occurred.

On the stroke of midnight...all the peoples of the world were turned into various and numerous types of vegetables.

Veggie eating, herbivore guzzling prehistoric animals started falling from the sky...dinosaurs were the first to arrive

Ankylosaurus. Brachiosaurus. Triceratops and Stegosaurus heaved their enormous forms through the tons of vehicles which had no drivers to move them.

The long necked dinos lopped up veggie people still seated in their various modes of transportation.

The Ogre-Fairy-Witches clan could find not a soul to scare on Halloween night. Upon investigating, the most unfortunate development was discovered.

It was the unprecedented, never before heard of matter of a spell gone wrong...Tuc-Tuc, the ogre/fairy/witch neophyte fairy-in-training, had accidentally uttered the wrong incantation Halloween spell.

He had actually meant to turn everyone into candy and eat them all up - but sadly made them into nasty, tasteless vegetable instead.

Tuc-Tuc had tried to eat them all so that no one would notice. But they made him puke. Some of them had not bathed in a long while. They reeked mightily.

What were the adults to do. They had only until midnight to return the world to its original inhabitants. Only two hours to go before people would have no chance to exist anymore.

The Ogre-Fairy-Witches' grown folks potion-ed and chanted, spell after spell they cast, incantation after incantation - but alas! Nothing worked.

There was only one thing left to do. The clock was ticking down the last half hour.

They opened up a portal, sending all the vegetable people folks, along with the dinosaurs, hurtling back to the Jurassic era.

That is why every October 1st is now celebrated as World Vegetarian Day. There were no people to eat meat. Except Tuc-Tuc and The Ogre-Fairy-Witches.

They ate the vegetarians.
