Halloween

It was the night before Halloween and I was so excited. All over my neighborhood my neighbors were putting up there decorations and getting there homemade haunted houses ready. My family was all ready. We had been ready for the past three weeks.  Halloween was my favorite holiday but this Halloween it was all going to change.

I barely got any sleep that night I was so excited. Then throughout the day I could barley pay attention. Unfortunately Halloween was on a Monday this year so all throughout the day I couldn't pay attention in any of my classes. Then finally the end of the day bell rang and I was out of school faster than Pre could run a mile. When I got home I was greeted by bags and bags of Halloween candy and other Halloween decorations. I tried doing my homework but I couldn't focus and ended up reading the same sentence from my textbook 20 times.

Then finally it was time. I got on my costume (I opted for the classic ghost,) and I was out the door. My friends and I met up at the corner and then proceeded to go to at least 35 houses until finally we came to a dimly lit house. We figured since it had its light on it was OK to go there so we slowly made our way to the front door.

As soon as we knocked on the door it slowly creaked open. My friends and I looked at each other, shrugged and walked in. The house smelled of mothballs and another smell that I couldn't put a finger on. As soon as we walked in the door, the door slammed shut and we were trapped. We tried opening it but we were trapped. Then we went to the window, but as soon as we got there it slammed shut and locked. Then suddenly a chilly feeling swept over the room we all looked up to see a shimmering person. It was clear that it was a man but his facial features were distorted and it was unclear what he looked like.  It was floating just barely off the ground and was so bright that it hurt to look at it. And then suddenly it was gone and the door swung open. We stood there petrified with fear then after about four seconds sprinted out of the house.

I immediately ran home and jumped into bed, so terrified I couldn't speak to my mom when she asked me if I was OK. I was so scared that it took forever but I finally went to bed and as I fell asleep I could see the distorted face staring straight at me.

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I yelled as I woke up. I looked around. I was drenched in sweat and was shivering out of control. I slowly came to the realization that it was all just a nightmare. "Few" I exclaimed as I started to go back to sleep." That was a terrible dream." Then just as I was about to fall asleep a sudden chill came over my room...
