HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

October 29, 2021

Halloween is almost here, and I decided to enter Susanna Leonard Hill's Halloweensie Contest. Rules, 100 words or less, kid friendly for ages 12 and under, and the words glow-in-the-dark, goosebumps and goodies must be used in the story. Here is my entry:

A HALLOWEEN SNACK by Debra Daugherty 100 Words Lacie squirmed to fit into her skeletal glow-in-the-dark costume. She turned off her bedroom lights and stared at her reflection in the mirror.

“I’m so scary, I gave myself goosebumps. I’m sure to bag lots of goodies when I go trick-or treating.”

At the window she heard a knock. When she spied a neon green creature peeking in, she fainted.

“I didn’t mean to scare her,” the alien told his mother.

“It’s okay, son. We couldn’t eat that human anyway. She’s nothing but bones.”

“Look! A witch and a dinosaur are headed this way! Let’s snack on them!”

CRUNCH! MUNCH! BURP!
