“Tolls and Rewards” by Guilherme Caxico

Submitted to Contest #65

The factory's siren echoed through the streets of Mckenziewood like a sweet warning. The glass confectioners were finally being set free of their stressful duties and could come back home to their wives, husbands, and kids with enough time to spend some of the festivities. Halloween night has always been an important event for the city, even after the tragedies that always happen around that part of the year. Many were the officers and digital influencers that tried to stop the celebrations, but nothing really worked. The To-Die-Town, as the...

“A Witchy Vision for the Future” by Sapna Reinant

Submitted to Contest #65

Maya could feel the village calling out to her even now. Her daughter had come home a week ago to shoulder the responsibility of her father’s last rites. Poonam had wanted to take her parents with her to London when she first got the job, but they had refused. Her father had said something about wanting to die in the village he had been born in, but Maya knew that he was looking out for her. He knew that Maya’s magic was rooted in the village. Moving away would mean a weakening of her abilities, and she wasn’t ready to give that u...

“A Not-so Horror Story” by Eshita Meduri

Submitted to Contest #65

Angry spirits. Angry Halloween spirits. Those were the last few things I could see before losing my sight completely. Whispers from the beyond clouded the rest of my senses. I wanted to help my family. But, I couldn’t do a thing. Stupid muscles won’t work when I want them to. Ugh. After what seemed like ages, we were awoken from our trance. The cauldron of protection was lying upside down on the ground. The bonfire was no longer in existence. And all my fellow witches and wizards were lying unconscious. Except for Ms. Warren. I turned to ...

“The Monsters Reign” by Mahrosh A

Submitted to Contest #65

“Everyone here?” asked a pretty woman with long red hair and perfect straight teeth with piercing red eyes. “I don’t want to be missing anyone.” “Everyone's here Cassandra high witch, just like you said.” piped up a rather skinny looking woman with greenish skin, webs in her hair, and yellow uneven teeth. “Perfect.” smiled Cassandra. “I was beginning to think everyone was too scared to come since it is Halloween.” She glanced up at the sky. The moon was shaped like a round ball giving off a yellowish color. “It’s time.” She said as a gro...

“Implosion” by Sally Lang

Submitted to Contest #65

The night was pure black save for the thin waxing moon offering a hint of light along the path. Snapping twigs and crunching leaves broke the painful silence as Ezra made her way forward through the maze of thick tree trunks. She paused and looked around. ‘Where was I going?’ Scoffing the question away, she continued. A chilly breeze blew across her face and seemed to run the length of her spine. She gathered her cloak closer, feeling the thick fur wrap snuggly around her neck. ‘Where am I?’ A common question of late; her mind kept forgetti...

“The Toad-ing Hour” by Lisa Onion

Submitted to Contest #65

At the stroke of three on Halloween, a group of three witches met up at the sacred oak tree. A cauldron sat a top a fire with boiling water. This is the hour, the time to create shenanigans on the towns people. This is going to be a fun Halloween. Donna, Jane and Mary are the names of these witches three. Each one had brought an ingredient that would create a sight to see on Halloween. A potion will be made. A potion that will turn the trick-or-treaters into the creatures that they are dressed as. A haunting this town will never forge...

“Coven Under the Midnight Moon” by Lexie Kanya

Submitted to Contest #65

Whisper of a candle’s light, howl of the earth’s breath, ending reign of the sun golden life. Night’s evening sky fabricated and hung, hugging her body and every curve. Cascading down her frame raging flaming locks, while in place of mere eyes one could see the deep evergreen woods own soul. Clutched within her greedy grasp the obscure collection tightly fitted within the jade leather sachal. The breath of a single word, creaky door obeyed and candle crooked. Through the threshold, abondoning the loyal boarded up house with shattered glass. ...

“Girl’s Night” by Sydthecrybaby .

Submitted to Contest #65

Marge loved Halloween more than anything. Picking cobwebs off of her dusty, black dress she happily chatted on the phone with Terry, who was painting her sickly green nails. “I’m just saying Ter, his pale skin was so beautiful that I could literally see his veins. You can’t convince me otherwise.” “Dude, I’m telling you. Not every boy with pale skin is a vampire, i’m sorry.” Terry replied with a deep sigh. Her phone was laying next to the coffin-black nail polish she use...

“Reunion” by Julia Hamilton

“Six feet, Brigitte. Come on, just measure with the broom,” snapped Amelia. Brigitte halted in her tracks and let her arms fall to her sides, two steps away from the friend she hadn’t seen since this time last year. “Well, good to see you too, then. It’s only a meter in Paris,” Brigitte grumbled, edging backward nonetheless. She eyed the distance between them, comparing it to the length of the sleek ebony broom she held in her right hand. With an approving nod from Amelia, Brigitte conjured up a large ivory pouf and slumped into ...

'Shall we go trick or treating tonight?' 'What a splendid idea!' said Wendy. 'Where can we meet up?' asked Lisa 'Can we meet at the sweet shop in town? That way we can get plenty of sweets i...

“Where’s Helga?” “I don’t know she should’ve been here by now. Did you see her anywhere after we split up?” “I did; she was heading to the 6th street. I heard the house with the white dog had peanut butter chocolates again.” “Ah, I love those! I hate dogs, though. That’s why I can never go near that house,” the younger witch said. The older one was leaning to deadwood. She was carrying a black sack full of gummies and coffee bonbons. “Do you think,” the younger witch said, “do you-I mean nothing would’ve…” “No, don’t worry, Enid. She’s fin...

“The First Night” by Ana Franco

Submitted to Contest #65

The girl unwrinkled her clothes, fixed her long and curly red hair, put on her black hood and started walking towards the forest in the cold, dark night. Earlier that day she had changed clothes, what it seemed to her, a thousand times. She was nervous. It was October 31st: Halloween. However, that was not the reason why she was so apprehensive. See, my dear readers, this Halloween it was going to be different for her. It was going to be the first night that she was allowed to participate in the ritual. She had been waiting for this for a lo...

Spider-Breath the Witch stood atop the grassy hill, looking down at the twinkling lights of the town below. She had been planning this night for a while, and now, finally it was Hallow's Eve. Down by her feet was her small but mighty cauldron and a tattered, well worn book of spells. All she was missing were her friends, the book was very clear there needed to be three of them. Spider-Breath, scratched her nose, her green skin was beginning to irritate her. “Hello Sa... Spider-Breath” a cheery voice called out to her from behind. A wide gr...

“Got the Brews?” by J.B. Dixon

“Are you certain we should be doing this? It isn’t quite proper.” “By the moon, Teresa! You question this every year, yet here you are!” Julia said. “Yes, you have been with us too long to go back now. You are with us until the end.” Anne concluded. “It is time I stop questioning. Let us keep moving. We do not want to be caught.” The six young women in gray, hooded cloaks moved quietly into the red, orange, and yellow leaves still clinging to the otherwise bare trees. The sun was slowly setting and they only had an hour’s worth of li...

Aradia stood at the cauldron stirring and stirring in the smoky shack. "Did you get the fire hot enough?" The wooden spoon clacked on the side of the cauldron as the liquid inside boiled, bubbled and spit up out of the cauldron. "The meeting is in an hour." Allegra, the bent over crone, looked up and answered "of course." She poked at the fire as sparks and smoke flew everywhere. The black cat ran and hid. "Did you put the right ingredients in? The potion needs to work tonight. It's Halloween night and a full moon. It's a good night fo...
