No Halloween decoration is scary compared to the moldy pumpkin. I took this photo in Brooklyn Heights on October 26, 2022.

The poor thing didn't even make it to Halloween. What's worse is that the gourd was beginning to mold about a week before I took this photo. It was fuzzy by the 22nd. By the 26th after a couple of rainy and relatively warm days, it was this. These people left it out to grow more and more mold for DAYS. I can report however that it was gone by the 27th.

The inhumanity of it all!

If you're wondering why this pumpkin was in such a sorry state, I took this photo on MARCH 20, 2022. The poor thing had been left outside for several months, subjected to multiple rounds of freezing and thawing. Someone (not me) tried to give voice to the sorrow of the gourd.
