Halloween Spirits




My favorite Halloween was the time I decided to go trick or treating with my best friend Kati. She wanted me to go with her boy friend and his best friend, in which I found attractive. So in this case it was a win win situation. We got dressed up and found some pillow cases to put all of our candy in. We met up with the boys and started walking to go trick or treating. We decided that it wasn't much fun, since we were older so we decided to walk around and talk for awhile. Maybe even go for an adventure or two.
My friend Kati was a "homey hopper." She had dated her boyfriends best friend Josh. The one I liked, and so she was trying to get him away from her and be with her boyfriend for awhile. I was the distraction. All four of us walked for awhile until we ended up in a cul-de-sac and we sat there talking for a long while. We decided to get up and go for another walk. The boys had a short cut to get home. They decided to walk along side the high way, and right by the highway were big ditches, that were for draining water while it rained. Unfortunately, I didn't realize these were there and with no street lights it was pitch dark. I took a step forward and fell into the ditch scraping my leg against the concrete walls. It was a painful spill, but I couldn't see it any scrapes or blood for that matter, so we walked on. I was walking right next to Kati when she had knocked my hand, that had my cell phone in it. My cell phone flew out of my hand into the street. I initially had the reaction to grab it, but Kati and Josh pulled me back from getting hit by a car while I watched my phone almost get crushed by it also. Thankfully, my phone didn't get crushed and neither did I. I grabbed my phone after that, and we finally made it back onto the neighborhood streets. We walked back to where we met the boys and I shined my leg under the light, to my surprise there was a big scrape and blood was running down my leg from it. We didn't know what to do, so we just left it. Kati and her boyfriend were no where to be seen, me and Josh decided to find out where they had gone. We went towards a trail that led to a bunch of trees and a walk way, that no one was on. We found them laying down on the ground watching the stars together and talking. Josh tried to disturb them, but I told him I wanted to go back and just sit and chat for awhile. This is what we did until it was time to go. He also had given me his jacket, because it was really chilly outside. All in all, it was a memorable and most fun Halloween I've had. I have the scar to prove it.


I was putting on my Halloween costume when I heard something moving in my closet. I immediately shut the door to my closet and finished putting my costume on. I left my room and got a broom, just in case it was a mouse. I called for my dog Pepper and he was no where to be found. I took a deep breath and I opened the door to my room. I then prepared for what was going to come popping out at me from my closet. I held out my broom stick, and then suddenly something came running out from under my bed. I jumped around trying to figure out what it was when it came hurdling at my face and started licking me. I finally found Pepper, he was hiding under my bed this whole time. I took my dog outside, so I could figure out what was hiding in my closet. I called for my older brother real quick to see if he was home, so I wouldn't have to do this on my own. He ended up not being home and I continued to get prepared to open the closet door. When my door suddenly darted open on its own. I checked the hallway to see if anybody was there, and my brother popped out at me. He had a good ten minute laugh for scaring me. I got mad at him and he left loudly stomping to his room. After I heard his door close I continued to do what I was doing before. Figuring out what was in my closet. I grabbed my broom stick yet again, and had my hand on the handle of the door. I turned the knob and jumped, when my cell phone started vibrating on top of my dresser. I looked to see who was calling, and of course it was my father, checking up to see what I was doing. I had a small conversation with my dad, and then hung up the phone. What was going to interrupt me next? I wondered. I got ready to open up my closet for the last time, without the broom, and a bunch of balloons and confetti popped out and once that cleared out, there stood a bear, roses, candy, and a sign that said congratulations. My parents and my brother came into my room and congratulated me for getting accepted to the college that I wanted to get into.
Later that night, I heard rattling, but it was different this time. I got up, and got my broom, and a sudden bright light filled my room...


Every holiday comes and goes,
I look forward to my favorite of all,
Pumpkins and candy will fill up my pillow case
I walk in the night, spooky as can be.
I see a scary witch.
She's carrying a broom.
I see orange lantern's lit up at every house.
Black cat's and scary bats decorate the streets.
The night is full of spirits and cold wind fills the air.
