Good Luck Lantern

Olivia adds the finishing touches to the Jack - O - Lantern. The smile is lopsided, and the top is sinking in. Penny eats the pumpkin's innards. There is a huge string hanging from her beak. Olivia holds up her Jack - O - Lantern. "Behold." Penny seems less than impressed. "I know. It's not the best one I've made, but it's better than nothing. Right?" Penny still does not respond. Olivia stands up with the pumpkin in her hand. Piercing shrieks can be heard down the corridor. "What could that have been?" Olivia wonders out loud. The shrieks continue. "Come here!" A voice of authority shouts from down the hall. The shrieks grow wilder and louder. A prisoner runs past Penny and Olivia. His eyes are vacant. A moment later a guard with a spear appears. He too runs past Penny and Olivia. It is as if he was so engrossed in the chase that he doesn't see the two of them. Olivia eyes her Jack - O - Lantern. "Guess you're good luck after all." She turns to Penny. "Shall we continue?"
