Halloween Narrative

The Ghost of Halloween

It was the night before Halloween and a 10 year old girl who had long brown hair and pretty blue eyes lived in a little town west of Cleveland, Ohio in the year of 2006 and she was trying on her new Halloween costume. She had best friends named Emma and Jack, who are twins, and were both three months younger than her. They had jet black hair and brown eyes and they were going to trick or treat with her at exactly 9:00 tomorrow night.

Amanda wondered why she was so scared before and why her friends were so afraid. Suddenly Mr. Barley came to the door and yelled, “WHY ARE YOU HERE!” and Severous flew away.
