What the devil was that? Those crazy humans and their annual Halloween nonsense, of course! …or was it?

Listen! I just heard a noise, didn’t you? Oh, it’s alright, I see what it is now. Here come my human neighbours, all dressed up in scary Halloween costumes and making ghost noises as they go along. Well, I ask you, did you ever see anything so ridiculous in your life – I mean, these are grown men and women, not children. It ought to be banned, I say! What a pathetic sight!

But then again, that’s how businesses make their money, isn’t it, selling sinister looking costumes, and ghost and demon paraphernalia… Huh, beats me how people today can afford to buy the wretched stuff, what with rising inflation and all!

Darn it, I really wish they would cut out that horrible moaning sound! It’s extremely creepy, and now my nerves are well and truly on edge. Ah good, they’re at last making their way down the street – and, yes, they’re finally gone, so I’m glad to say that that’s the end of that. Whew, what a relief, I think I’ll put the kettle on.

Wait a minute, though, what’s that whistling I hear? It sounds just like the kettle boiling. Already? Well, it can’t be, can it! I mean, I haven’t been in the kitchen yet, and nobody else has put it on because there’s no one here but me…

Is there…?
