Jack O' Lantern

Ray hoisted the round, heavy object onto Fraser's kitchen table and it landed with a loud thud.

"Whew! There you go, Benny. Now get to work."

"Thank you kindly, Ray." Fraser picked up his bowie knife and began carving away.

"I can't believe you have never made one of these before, Benny."

"I did not celebrate Halloween when I was a child," Fraser replied sadly as he cut and sliced. "My grandparents thought such holidays were frivolous and a waste of time."

Ray frowned at his lover and squeezed his shoulders. "Well, baby, all that's going to change now. I promise you."

"Ray? How am I doing so far?"

"You're doing great! Now here is the gross part!"

Ray removed the lid and reached in with his hand. "Eeeeew!"

He scooped out the gooey slimy gunk and slung it on the spread newspapers all over the kitchen table.

"Hey, Fraser! Are you going to help me or what?"

The Canadian wrinkled his nose in disgust and began digging in. "This is quite disgusting, Ray. Yech!"

"Big cry baby."

As soon as the interior was totally hollow and clean, Fraser began carving again with his trusty knife.

Ray gazed at his lover as Benny whittled away on the strange entity, carving out the eyes, the nose, and a wide, toothy mouth. He didn't realize his Mountie could be so artistic with a blade.

"Ray, I'm done!" Fraser announced proudly, wiping his knife clean with a dishtowel.

"Cool."

Ray lit a thick wax candle and placed it gingerly inside. He then replaced the lid and both men stood back to observe the eerie spectacle.

Fraser turned off the lights.

"Wow, Benny! Now that is scary!" Ray shivered at the glowing, evil grin.

Fraser placed a hand under his chin and nodded in agreement. "Yes, Ray. I do believe it's frightful."

"I mean it, Benny! Look at it! It's so damn spooky I'm about to wet my pants!"

"Oh really?" Fraser leered at him. "Let me allay your fears, my love."

He dragged the trembling Italian to his narrow bed for a good Halloween fuck.

Who knew Stan's head would make such a terrifying Jack O' Lantern?
