Pumpy's Stain: a very short and rotten Halloween story

A 685-word short story about a pathetic little pumpkin and his bitter demise. With one bonus interior illustration.
Excerpt: "What about the seeds? Should we roast them and eat them?" asked the mother. "No. This pumpkin's seeds look green and strange. We'd better not," replied the father. The father carved a ghostly face into Pumpy's empty skin, and after that, Pumpy really couldn't remember his name.
