The Halloween Table

What do you suppose a Halloween table to look like? To me a Halloween table is one that kind of gives off a Gothic motif that is a dark Mahogany table maybe with a few tall candlesticks in the middle. Now picture cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and chandelier in the center of the room. There is a sense that one is not alone at this table for its set for two for pewter dishes. Who is expecting whom? Is it for a special trick or treater? At this time of year, one may not know for sure. Happy dining!?

    Well-wrought! A Halloween table might be any table where pumpkins are carved!

    You created quite the creepy atmosphere. Love the colour you made the table. The suggestion for company, a lot could be entered into the blank. Nicely done, Mark. 🤗❤️

    Beautifully written! The imagery of cobwebs, candlelight, and that mysterious table for two leaves just enough to the imagination to give readers a chill.
