Update: A SCARE A SKULL A SKELETON won 4th place in the contest!

     Here's my entry for the always FUN Halloweensie contest, from Susanna Leonard Hill. This year's challenge was to write a children's story, in 100 words or less, containing the words skeleton, creep, and mask.
     How'd I do? Leave a comment below (treats only, please; no tricks).

A SCARE A SKULL A SKELETON
a scare
            a skull
                        a skeleton
                                    I clatter down the street
 
a creep
            a crawl
                        a caterwaul
                                    I’m knocking for a treat
 
a rant
            a rave
                        an open grave
                                    I wear a scary mask
 
a trick
            a treat
                        a something sweet
                                    I TAKE! (and NEVER ask)
 
a bugaboo
            a witch’s brew
                        the treat I took is cursed…
 
a salty lick
            a yuck
                        an ick
                                    my brother is the WORST!
 
a snore
            a sleep
                        a sneaky peek
                                    a tippy-toe attack
 
a spider…
            SCREAM!
                        its Halloween
                                    and—yep!—I got him back
