Halloween Special

• Sri Durka Amiksa Kumar, Grade 3
• Short Story
• 2015

On October 31st, I, Sri Durka Amiksa was in India, teaching people how to trick or treat.
At exactly 10:00 pm sharp, I crossed an old mansion. "Nice Decorations!" I said. I went and nearly knocked on the door when I read the sign that said, ‘DO NOT ENTER’ in blood red, but, I knocked anyway.
Then an ugly old woman and man appeared.
I said, "H!H!H!H! HAPPY HALLOWEEN. TRICK OR TREAT."
They replied, "Happy Halloween Darling. Come IN."
I said, "No, Thank You."
They growled and said, “GET IN!"
They shoved me inside and tied me to a chair inside a cage made of gold, steel and iron.
I spied on them and the lady showed the man a book.
They were making a potion and they made me drink it. I gladly drank it because it was a potion for smartness but they thought it was a potion to make me into a ghost. They got the recipes mixed up because they were side by side.
Then, when they were talking, I got out of the cage using a . . . POCKET KNIFE!
Then I grabbed all the goodies, grabbed the lady's broomstick and flew away.
MMWAHA! HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!
(I'm a WITCH!!)
