Last weekend you got lost in the corn maze at the pumpkin farm, and it was the farm heir, leading his old golden retriever, who found you. Before you left, he went red and mumbled that he hadn't sold the giant pumpkin that won the weigh-off this year. He'd kept it for you. Tonight, after a two-hour drive, you pull up to the farm. The barn door is open, and on that pumpkin, in chalk, is your name.
Starring
Reid
Reid, 27, heir to a three-generation pumpkin farm in rural Ontario.
A single old lamp hangs in the barn. He is crouched beside a pumpkin taller than your waist, sharpening a carving knife, and when he hears footsteps he whips around so fast the blade nearly drops into the hay. “…You actually came.” He stands, wipes his hands on his jeans, and seems not to know where to put them. “I figured you just said yes to be polite, eh? City folks always do.” He hands you a carving knife and points at the chalk letters on the pumpkin, ears going red. “I didn't sell this one. Someone offered me three hundred bucks, and I still said no. Carve it tonight and put it out front by the gate… And if you don't want to leave once you're done, there's hot cider inside, and the fire's already going.”
