Slip Sliding Away

Slip Sliding Away


    It was the best Halloween ever! There was a fierce wind blowing. Our costumes were flapping in the wind. The bare branches in the trees looked like fingers trying to grab trick-or-treaters as they walked the sidewalks to each house. Someone was burning a fire because smoke billowed out from behind houses. Tons of kids were running from house to house yelling about who had good candy and which house to avoid. What a great Halloween!
 
    Following the advice of friends who just flew by heading the opposite direction, our group went in search of the house that had the best candy. We rang the bell and a sweet looking witch presented us with a black cauldron filled with the strangest looking candy we ever saw. We each carefully took a piece, said “thank you” and leaped down the stairs. Once we hit the sidewalk, we couldn’t wait to try the candy.
 
    We opened it, popped it in, and one by one, we began to watch our friends. Each of us rapidly grew shorter and shorter and shorter until, BLAM, we each became a puddle of slippery, slidey ooze on the sidewalk.

Is there more to this story? I want to keep reading! What happened after you became a puddle of slippery slidey ooze on the sidewalk?

Thanks,
