Brand new suckers! the sign advertised. She paused, tilted her head, and considered the shop's window. A few pumpkin suckers winked at her, and candy cobwebs illuminated the edges of the window. A gingerbread witch dangled from the center. She made a moue at it; you could tell it was a witch because of the large wart portrayed on the nose. She touched her own delicate protuberance. She did not look at all like the stereotypical witch, which pleased her, particularly when those well-off clients came in to visit and found themselves highly surprised. It wasn't just vanity; her beauty was a useful tool. She contemplated snubbing the shop, but as it happened, she was extremely fond of pumpkin suckers.

Inspiration: "Brand New Sucker" by Jonathan Coulton, plus a Halloween page on the calendar
Story Potential: Low.
Notes: Cute little vignette, but not a story idea.
