Halloween

I step outside and see a crowd of people with amazing costumes and candy in their buckets. A lot of them scared me. Lights were glowing, there was a full moon and a loud bang. All of a sudden, four, big bad bullies with petrifying costumes, ran towards me. They were going to steal my candy and my candy alone, at least that’s what I thought they were going to do.
They weren’t going for the candy they were going for me. I didn’t know what was going on. I ran as fast as I could, as far as I could and to the only place I could go was my room. I ran inside, my face was pale, my skin decided to peel and my lips were chapped. I panted so hard, I sounded like a hyena having a heart attack. I heard creepy voices and noises seeping in through the walls. Now I really know my neighbourhood is a ghost town.
