"Family, our sacred book will now be replaced by..." Mother Rhapsody held up a triangle and struck a pure note. "This."

I'm feeling Halloweeny and what better way to celebrate than by participating in @jayna’s fifty word story challenge.
This time the prompt was “pumpkin.” Some will tell you they know full well the true origins of Halloween. I hope this story proves that in reality we rarely know as much as we think we do.
