Halloweensie 2015

Happy Halloweensie! It's time once again for Susanna Leonard Hill's teeny-tiny eensie-weensie story contest. And for me, it's a sort of anniversary--a sign that I've been studying picture book writing for one solid year. Getting involved with Susanna's Would-You-Read-It-Wednesday program and entering this contest last fall were some of my first discoveries as I started to delve into online writing resources. I've found a wealth of information and community since then. And now I'm pleased to bring the year full circle with another 100-word spooky story for the contest (using the words dark, haunt, and costume). Can't wait to see what others have come up with. Have fun, all you Halloweensie writers!
Knock-Knock
 
Knock-knock...
            Who’s that prowling on my porch--
            dark and silent, waving a torch?
 
Ding-dong…
            Must you lurk? Must you linger,
            pressing my bell with one knobbly finger?
 
Knock-knock.
            You again? What do you want?
            Kids to frighten? Mansions to haunt?
 
Ding-dong.
            Beat it, goblin! Now I’m mad.
            This Halloween is the worst that I’ve had.
 
Stuck in my house. No candy to eat.
Dressed up and waiting to go trick-or-treat…
 
…you’ve wrecked my plan to meet my friend Drew.
 
DREW!
            What a costume!
                                    I KNEW it was you.
