31 Days of Halloween 2014 - Day 24

Do you hear that?  Loud yelling and screaming can be heard within the ring of exhibits and attractions at the visiting Carnivale duMorte.  "What is that infernal racket?" mutters Ralph, the security guard, on his way to investigate.

Following the sound of screeches that sound like a little girl (or my brother) Ralph identifies the source of the disturbance.  Damn, it's a screamin' MeMe!  Ralph phones the creature's therapist for an immediate consultation.

After the therapist has calmed the agitated monster she returns to enlighten Ralph.  "MeMe's regular manicurist, Gigi, was ill and the substitute misunderstood his instructions, and painted his nails black.
BLACK!   Gigi only uses black polish during the month of December." 

The security guard returns to his shack and the therapist wanders back to her trailer.

In the background we can hear MeMe muttering as he works to remove the black nail polish.

Green, green is the colour of Halloween.
Green, green is the colour of Halloween.
