Major Edwards

Grade 3

The door slammed shut and a guy with a robe came down the stairs with an ax. He looked like a warlock. I ran to the kitchen and ran out the back door. He followed me. I opened the gate and ran to the car, got in and locked the door. When I looked back, I saw him. I went out to the car to find shelter.

When we got in the attic, the door slammed shut. I ran to the door and tried to open it. It was locked. Nike said, "Look,'' and pointed to a chest. I ran over and opened it. A thousand bats flew out. I screamed. the bats flew away. The door was open. Me and Nike heard someone say, "Boo!'' But it was just our little brother. We laughed and ran upstairs. We knew we would go to the attic again to find a new adventure.

The boy wolf

Once upon a time, in a small town in a tiny house, there was a boy who was an orphan. He worked for a bar man. The bar man does not like the boy. The boy's name is Riley. He has a secret. He is a werewolf. Here is how it happened. Only a year ago, he was picking blueberries. He heard a noise. He heard it again. He went over there and he saw a werewolf. The wolf looked up and saw Riley. The wolf sprang onto Riley and bit him. So it is said to this very day that, every Halloween, he comes out to bite his next victim. It might even be you. Dun dun dun!

The creepy, creepy shadow:

Dun dun dun!

Once there was a girl with her father and mother. One day, they went for a camping night and then they saw something and then they saw it again. It was something very tall. Then, in the middle of the night, the girl woke up. Then the very tall thing came out of the shadow. Later, they all woke up and they all saw a red ball nose. Then the very creepy thing was a very creepy, creepy, creepy clown and they all got very, very scared. Finally, in the morning, they saw it again and, once it got closer and closer, it took off the costume and it was her grandfather. And they lived not happily ever after.

Then he was trying to get away. He ran for the door. Suddenly, the door slammed shut. Later, the two security guards ran in the door by smashing it. That was followed by lots of scared, horrified screams! The monster ran out, eating everybody in sight. Soon it busted through the hotel doors and brought the human race to an end. Ahhh!
