The witch’s face was the lush, bright green of fresh-cut grass in spring. Her nose and chin protruded outwards in a sharp-edged curve, their respective tips almost meeting in front of her mouth. Her lips were arterial-spray red and beautifully glossy and her skin was all-over warts. She sat with her limbs splayed at strange and boneless angles, her pointy-toed black boots with the impractical number of buttons at odds with her skinny legs in their striped stockings.

Marshall picked the witch up, tossing her into an already-overflowing basket that bristled with battery-operated lights shaped like pumpkins, garlands of glow-in-the-dark plastic skeletons, and tangled lengths of black and orange tinsel.

“That’s going on the top of the tree,” he said.

At his side, Simon turned away from a porcelain doll he’d been examining with a spirit level and a dowsing rod that jingled with protective silver wards. He glanced at the witch and his mouth twisted in an expression of uncertainty.

“I dunno, Mars,” he said. “She’s a bit cartoony. What about this one?” he asked, gesturing at the blue-eyed blonde still on the shelf. He held up the spirit level and waggled it for emphasis, making the yellow-green ectoplasm inside slosh about. “Readings say it’s at least a little bit cursed,” he added encouragingly.

Marshall stared at the porcelain doll, taking in the smooth face with it’s peaches-and-cream complexion, the ruffled pink satin ballgown, the finely-wrought fingers just itching to grab a cake knife and start killing off his party guests.

He shook his head.

“Not this time, Simon,” he said, shifting the heavy shopping basket to his other hand. “This Halloween, I just want to eat cupcakes full of green food colouring and watch old movies on Eerie Cable without anyone getting stuck in the screen.”

“Oh,” said Simon.

Mars is taking Halloween off this year, like they try to on Buffy sometimes?

I'm guessing that's going to go about as well as expected...
