Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween
„Guys, I have to go home“, Peter says and looks nervously on his wrist watch. “It’s nearly eight o’clock.”
“Just one last house”, James begs, his mouth full of sweets. He points at the big, dark house at the end of the street where actually no-one dares to go.
Peter’s eyes become big and he shakes his head appalled. “Not there! This house is haunted.”
“So what? It’s Halloween. Don’t be such a wimp”, Lucie pipes up and folds her arms.
“But the woman living there allegedly eats children for breakfast”, Peter says desperate and looks as if he would start crying in a moment. Lucie asks herself in secrete who actually is the girl in the group.
“But it’s evening. We would have time until tomorrow morning to spilt if she kidnapped us”, James answers grinning.
“Alright, let’s go”, Lucie decides. She and James take Peter in their middle and walk along the street towards the big, spooky house. The nearer they get, the more Peter is shivering but also James and Lucie do not feel that brave anymore when they enter the land. The garden is a mess and the lawn should be mowed. The wall color is peeled off and one can clearly see the old wood beneath. On the veranda was a single jack-o’-lantern with a creepy face graved.
Lucie presses the bell button expectantly. The three friends wait for a moment but nothing happens.
“Nobody’s here. We better leave”, Peter says assuaged and wants to turn around but Lucie holds him.
“Look, the door is open”, James whispers excited and stands inside the house one second later.
They go along a dark corridor and see a small light at the end of it. Apparently, there is someone inside. They creep there on tiptoe and peek into the room. A woman with unkempt here sits on a rocking chair, which rocks back and forth squeakily.
James harrumphs and says extra loud: “Trick or treat!”
Slowly the woman turns around. Her nose is vast and askew and has a big wart on top. Her eyes blaze dangerously and she grins which shows her yellow teeth.
“Trick”, she fizzes.
James, Peter, and Lucie scream as loud as they can and sprint out of the house. They have never gone there again.
