Inside the Grinning Monster

I scrambled up the rough wooden steps and stared right into a gaping, toothy orange mouth! A giant carved pumpkin was sitting by the railing, grinning with sharp triangular teeth! Naturally, I grabbed its gooey serrated jaw and squirmed feet-first straight through the mouth opening! The inside smelled sweet and earthy, like ancient enchanted mush. Thick, sticky orange pumpkin strings hung from the ceiling like monster cobwebs! I wriggled right up to the carved eyeholes and poked my round head out, laughing breathlessly as I took over the beast from the inside! I am the pumpkin ghost captain now!
