and smurfing myself this Halloween season.
But once all the goblins were in bed (and the blue face paint removed) there was just enough time to finish my Halloweensie Story.
Susanna Leonard Hill's contest challenges writers to create a Halloween story for children in 100 words or less which includes the words Shadow, Monster, and Candy Corn (bonus, candy corn counts as one word.) Post your story by Tuesday October 31st by 11:59 PM EDT. (Otherwise known as "Dude, you only have 30 minutes left")
Timmy’s Sweet Success
The monsters were
prowling, but Timmy wanted his bag full.
A chill stopped him on the sidewalk.
“I vant to suck your sweets,” the vampire said.
“Open up,” Timmy said.
He shoved candy corn
on Dracula’s fangs and ran.
He stopped to ring another doorbell, but a growl made him
freeze.
“I need a chewy snack,” the werewolf said.
“Open up,” Timmy said.
The werewolf’s bite pierced a mouthful of tootsie rolls.
His house had a familiar shadow on the porch.
“Any Snickers?” the mom-ster asked.
“Open up,” Timmy said.
Mom’s teeth stuck to Bazooka Joe while Timmy ate his Snickers.
Happy Halloween!
