Meanwhile back in Manhattan, a certain irate Gilly the Ghoul was fuming as her date was over an hour late.

A text appeared on my 3G.
"Hey SP, do you have an idea where my honey is, he is over an hour late and we are supposed to be on the Kostume Kult float together. I hear you kindly yanked him oot the ground a while back but no one has seen hide nor hair of him since. He is so unreliable, I can't stand it. He probably met some floozy on the F train and forget about me. I'll kill him so I will ." She gnashed very sharky,spiky teeth in anguish.
We women face the same crap from all men it seems, dead and alive. One would have thought once you die you get a bit more sensible, able to knuckle down and commit. Fat chance!

"Gilly, I thought he was already dead being a Skelly and all. I am so sorry he seemed very excited to be meeting you. I can't imagine what happened. If I was you I would go to the float on your own. You look ghoulishly fabulous and you are sure to meet a new hotter skelly tonight, All Souls Night, your night. Ditch him, like he ditched you, if I had known he was going to stand you up I would have left him in the ditch to his own devices and not rescued him at all." I texted back,trying to console the poor thing. " Your hair and make up is done, go out, you can't spend the night in a shop window just because that looser stood you up."
We women must stick together, dead or alive.

My PEX buddies, Disco Underpants, Foxy Brown and The Sexy Sheik all posed for the Skelly who was stuck in the glass door

Fortunately Skeletons are thin so at least the poor thing wasn't too squashed. If I was pinned in a piece of glass between me and the door there would be an unsightly bulge.
The Skelly said we had the best costumes he had ever seen in Philly and asked Foxy for a date, but we made our excuses and headed off in the rain to the PEX burning Man decompression party, as poor Skelly did his best to wave goodbye whilst being wedged in the door so all he could really do was shoogle his bony pinkie finger.

That night heading to PEX in Philly I heard a yelp from inside one of the suburbian doors.

"Hey,SP, I heard you released Auld Skelly out the earth in Brooklyn, can you get me out the glass door so I can go to the PEX party too. Please,ps I read the blog every day,love it."

But although I had success with Auld Skelly,if I freed this one I would be put in jail for door vandalism. Am I now to free every skeleton I see, I will never get a minutes piece.

"So sorry Skelly Welly but I can't free you but you can watch all the Trick and Treaters going by, that will be fun."
It was Philly and the streets were dead not a soul in sight but I didn't want to let the Skelly down too badly so I thought that would console him.
"You're joking this is Philly nothing going on here,nice try though. At least show me your costume so I can get a decent thrill."

After Ally the Two Timing Alien left me in the lurch, I asked everyone I saw if they had any message for me, hoping to hear Ally had not just forgotten moi.

"Auld Skelly Sweetie, are you ok? You look like you just had a wee fall there into the ground, poor wee lamb. Or are you trying to get out of the Brooklyn Park Slope garden and make it to the Halloween parade in Greenwich Village? Do you need a hand out or a push back in? By the way you didn't happen to hear anything from Ally the Alien at all? Being not of this world I thought you might have an "in" with the spirit world or the extra terristerials, you ken what I mean?"
"SP, I was hoping to make it to the parade I am meeting my girlfriend there in a few hours so a wee hand out of this leafy earth would be marvellous. Oh and I must say I am a great fan of the SP blog all us Skellies love it , ESP the Halloween blog cos you always do such a funny story about us every year. I can't believe I am actually in the blog this year,how cool is that? Re Ally I did hear from him, he said hang on don't date anyone else as he hates unfaithful types( he does talk about the pot calling the kettle black) and he is coming back to get you, he just can't give you a specific date as of now. Patience, SP, Ally will return. It may be in a million light years, but hey it is not like you have anyone else do you ?".
A bit cheeky there, how comes even Skelly has a date for Halloween. So I 1,2,3 and hoisted him out and he jumped out of his patch of earth, his bones jangling and clanking and scarpred off in the direction of the F train to Manhattan.

"Off you go Skelly Sweetie and thanks for the message that is really encouraging, so it is. I musn't loose hope. Everyone on the train will mistake you for a great costume so go have fun!".

And he was gone leaving a hole in the earth which I dusted over with my Chanel boots.
