The Pumpkin Man

Meredith Perenais’s Journal

January 1, 1986

It’s a new year. A new chance to try to undo what I’ve done. To take back—

No, you can never take back what you’ve given. I wish there was a time travel machine so I could go back and change things, but that’s unfortunately more of a fantasy than any stories of ghosts and ghouls. There are ghosts, and I hope to never meet a ghoul.

George is lost to me. But I will bring him back. If it’s the last thing I do, I’ll bring him back.
