“ the monster time ” by Dimond Votaw

Submitted to Contest #13

Once on a stormy night in a misty , gloomy island filled with monsters and killer clowns . Thunder crashes and lighting flashes hitting stones and trees . In the small forest filled with thorns and big brown bears . Deep in the forest, there was a small cave filled with bats and vampires . Hives field with the beating of small wings of bees . No human has been there before. But on this night a family with one baby girl and 2 ten year old boys washed ashore from a lighting storm hitting their boat .Then they awoke from their sleep t...

“Death at Dark” by Benji SIlver

Submitted to Contest #13

Another week of “spooky” costumes and getting sick on candy. It would be my first year doing it all by myself, my parents were out of town on a business trip and there were no relatives or baby sitters. I had just turned 16, which is probably why my parents were letting me stay home. I had just finished decorating the house and had made a plan to meet up with my two best buddies to spend the night watching horror movies all night. They would be arriving at 6 for a pizza dinner, so I had a few hours to kill. Time to make a c...

“Trick or Treat? ” by T.D. Johnson

Submitted to Contest #13

“Boooooohahahahah!” “Ahhhh! Stop it Ethan you scared me!” Halloween was Ethan’s favorite holiday. Don’t get me wrong it was mine too, but I liked the fun things about Halloween. The costumes, the running around the neighborhood with friends, and of course the trick-or-treating. Ethan liked all the scary things about Halloween. The ghouls, ghosts, and goblins. He loved the pranks, the fake blood, and haunting masks. I don’t know why I always agree to go trick-or-treating with him. But hey, he was my best friend and it wouldn’t be a real Hallo...

“Trick or Treat” by Adelaide M

Submitted to Contest #13

Ding Dong! Ugh. Here they come again. Every year, this fateful day comes around, where parents dress their babies up as pumpkins, kids and eighty-year-old men disguise themselves as ghosts or ninjas, and everybody has to spend a butt-load of money on candy. I groan and walk over to the door, where I can hear kids chattering and giggling quietly amongst themselves. I open the door to a wave of, “TRICK OR TREAT!!!” “Here you go,” I mutter in a surly tone, holding the bowl of candy out to the mini witches and black cats standing outside m...

“Halloween can be spooky ” by Christopher Bailey

Submitted to Contest #13

The air was cold against my exposed skin. I couldn’t feel my fingers inside my flippers.its October 31st, 2019 I’m 13 years old and walking around in a duck onesie. I don’t care about all the stupid glances or off-handed remarks about my appearance; I feel better than ever. Honestly, I think I feel more at home now than I have since I got here. I am on my estate and I’m walking around with my best friends looking like we have just escaped from some kind of backward zoo. There’s me a duck, Bianka a frog, Chloe a penguin, Clare a flying squirr...

Submitted to Contest #13

“911, what’s your emergency?”“Hello, I need someone to come to my neighborhood please”“Okay, what’s the problem?”“I was sitting in my backyard of an apartment complex. Just passing out some halloween candy for trick or treaters. And I see a van come by.”“What did the van look like?”“It actually looked like a blue faded, 1999 Toyota van. Seemed like it was a normal van. At first glance, the windows are tinted.”“What’s the license plate?”“Umm....mentomori.”“Mento mori?”“...Yeah.”“I think it’s Latin for ‘Remember you will die’ but shortened for...

“Jorby the Jorbeater” by Patrick Hisel

Submitted to Contest #13

"He's too old for trick or treating", thought Jordan. He had his suspicions that his mother was behind the arrangement. She could be counted on to stand up for him since she doted on the baby of the family. Cliff resented the idea of spending Halloween night with his annoying little brother, but at least his girlfriend Jenny was tagging along. Or at least he hoped she would decide to be his girlfriend after tonight. "We can't forget to go by Mrs. Flannigan's house, she has full sized Snickers bars this year!" Jordan sensed the excitem...
