Timmy's Sweet Success- A Halloweensie Story

I've been busy making spider egg sacks,
 creating creepy decapitated heads,
and smurfing myself this Halloween season.

 But once all the goblins were in bed (and the blue face paint removed) there was just enough time to finish my Halloweensie Story.



Susanna Leonard Hill's contest challenges writers to create a Halloween story for children in 100 words or less which includes the words Shadow, Monster, and Candy Corn (bonus, candy corn counts as one word.) Post your story by Tuesday October 31st by 11:59 PM EDT. (Otherwise known as "Dude, you only have 30 minutes left") 


Timmy’s Sweet Success

The monsters were prowling, but Timmy wanted his bag full.
A chill stopped him on the sidewalk.  
“I vant to suck your sweets,” the vampire said.
“Open up,” Timmy said.
He shoved candy corn on Dracula’s fangs and ran.

He stopped to ring another doorbell, but a growl made him freeze.
“I need a chewy snack,” the werewolf said.
“Open up,” Timmy said.
The werewolf’s bite pierced a mouthful of tootsie rolls.

His house had a familiar shadow on the porch.
“Any Snickers?” the mom-ster asked.
“Open up,” Timmy said.
Mom’s teeth stuck to Bazooka Joe while Timmy ate his Snickers.

Happy Halloween!

      If I could buy another 100 words, the blob was going to get lollipop legs and the mummy was getting wrapped in candy buttons.

      It's a rookie mistake to forget about the Mom-ster stealing your candy.

      Every year I pop one in my mouth to reminisce about the taste, and 30 seconds later I regret it when my jaw locks up.
