Trick-or-Treat

Trick or treat 

a Halloween story

By: Myron Allukian

Casey was in school as she thought about the night to come. Tonight was Halloween; She would be a princess with a big pink dress and a beautiful crown. As she stepped onto the bus she could  taste slick smooth chocolate in her mouth. The joy of walking around collecting candy with her friends. When she got home from school she couldn't wait. Her and her brother Jack went outside on the porch and put out the jack-o'-lanterns. They had to wait for their mother to light them. When their dad got home they were so excited. Her dad told her that her friend wanted to have a sleepover. Casey furiously nodded “yes!” she practically screamed. Mother came outside with a lighter and said, "Who wants to light the jack-o-lanterns!?”

 As she lit the jack-o'lanterns she realized each jack-o'-lantern had a different emotion. One was happy, one was funny, one was scary, one was hungry and so on and so on. Casey grabbed her princess dress and brought it over to her friend's house. Her friend Maddie was waiting for her at the door. It Was about 2 hours before they could start trick or treating so they decided to watch a movie. They were trying to figure out what type of movie they should watch. Maddie suggested they watch a scary movie. Cassie was remembering that her dad told her not to watch scary movies. But her dad would never find out she thought so she agreed. They settled on Nightmare on Elm Street. Cassie thought it was cool because. Her Street's name was Elm Street. It was horrifying it was so scary Casey practically passed out. Casey thought she was definitely the scared pumpkin. 

After she went trick or treating she slept over at her friend's house but she was so scared because she was right next to Elm Street the entire time. When she got home she was terrible her mother and her father noticed. When they asked what was wrong Casey confessed. Her mother and father were mad at her for watching a scary movie but didn't give her a punishment. After a year she got over the scary movie. But she never watched a scary movie again. Or did she.
