Wow, it's been 6 months since I've posted a writing contest entry. Been taking this time to focus on other things, so I'm excited that I was inspired with this years Halloweensie contest hosted by Susanna Leonard Hill. The story must be a 100 word (or less) Halloween story appropriate for children using the words slither, treat, and scare. Enjoy!

What do we have here?
A bucket of treats.
I reach down and get…
A box of raisins?!?!
That's not a treat.
Away dried-up fruit.
Flee in fear.
Slither in shame .
The next treat must be better.
Candy bar!
Crunch.
Yummmmm!
What’s next?
Caramel apple!
Crunch.
Owwwwwww!
Uh-oh.
My teeth hurt.
I need my dentist.
But she’s busy tonight.
Doing what?
Giving out toothbrushes.
Handing out stickers.
Scaring trick-or-treaters with tales of cavities.
I’ll have to wait.
Until then, no more sugar or hard foods.
What can I eat?
A box of raisins!!!!
