Wuyi stood atop a grey boulder, head flung back and xyr sharp teeth glinting in the moonlight. The pinkish notes in xyr fur popped from the campfires circling the cub’s setup. Thankfully, the metal buckets’d been placed far enough away from the flames. This had been a happy accident, rather than intentional on Wuyi’s part.

“Bob for these delicious chocolate-coated apples! IF YOU DARE!” Wuyi cackled. “There’s white, milk, and dark chocolate! Even some experimental ones with two or more types!”

Despite being told, several times, what “bobbing for apples” meant, Wuyi had interpreted the concept in xyr own unique way. Why bother using pedestrian items like buckets and regular apples? Sure, regular apples could taste sweet, depending on the type, but Halloween called for delicious treats! And so Wuyi applied xyr creativity, which had actually been the easy part. The practical parts had stumped xyr the most.

The apples, bobbed on the water’s surface. However, several water snakes swam in the larger troughs. They were a non-venomous variety, but Wuyi neglected to put up any signs attesting to that fact. Instead, the cub’d raised a single sign saying APPLES AND SNACKS. The misspelling was unintentional, but the bright red paint had been a deliberate choice.
