As I was going down the street I heard steps just behind me gradually getting closer, as the sound of heels resonated with the concrete sending shivers down my spine. It was an unusual occurrence in the area I was currently in, people lingering after dark, especially on this specific night: Halloween. All I could sense was this eerie feeling as if my own body was sending quiet, almost whispered signals telling me to quicken my pace. My hands began to sweat as my breathing got increasingly louder as the set of footsteps followed my actions. I was certain now, this person was following me for a reason still unknown to my shaking figure trying to compose itself for a possible physical fight. It was the worst scenario I could think of: having

Next, my mom and I went to the costume store. When we arrived it stopped raining. I was very relieved. So when we walked into the costume store I heard a “Ugh!! “And “BRAINS! “ My heart was pounding.

They saw another staircase but then they heard a girl screaming. Marie ran up the the stairs as fast could but then the stair broke beneath her feet. She had grabbed ahold of one of the stairs and was holding on as tight as she could. Marie was screaming on the top of her lunges for Sarah to help. Marie's grip to the stair was slipping fast. Then she lost her grip but Sarah grabbed her hand before she fell. She used all her strength to pull Marie back up. After she was back on to the floor Marie was shaking but she went on to find out who was screaming. So they very carefully walked up the stairs. When they got to the top the saw a stuffed teddy bear. Sarah walked over and picked it up. It had been drenched with blood. Sarah looked up and saw blood spots. She walked down the hall and saw bloody hand prints that looked like a little kids hand. She stopped dead in her tracks. Then they started hearing a music box playing faintly. Sarah looked in every room but didn't find it. Marie ran to catch up with Sarah. All of a sudden the music stopped. They stayed still. They heard a wheelchair squeaking like someone was pushing it. Sarah's eyes widened with fear and there it was a wheelchair moving by itself with no one pushing it. It stopped in the middle of the hallway. Marie was frightened. The wheelchair was flying and almost hit Sarah in the head. Sarah ran off into another room and what she found was not what she wanted to see. Marie found her and her jaw dropped. There was a woman's body on an autopsy table. She looked so pale. Sarah got closer and saw stab wounds on her sides and on her stomach. Marie saw blood all over her clothes.

“So kids, every Halloween, it is said that her ghost, roams the empty hallways of this very school, searching for another female student to take her place.” The students were now on the edge of their wooden seats, eyes wide, listening to every word Mr. Morris said. All of a sudden the loud bell breaks the silence, making each one of them jump.

Dusk descended. The hurricane befall as the weather forecasted. I stare at my computer screen, staring at the tiny words on the document. Today is Halloween, I thought, my favorite festival in the year. Me and my friends are having a party today, how can I forget it! A notification shows out from in a corner of my computer. Halloween party, 10 o’clock. I quickly close it. Of course I knew today is Halloween! I glance out side the window, I hesitated. It’s such a bad weather outside! This is going to be a hard decision.

I take the key of my car and drive in this horrible weather. Their is another significant reason that I decided to go to this party even though the weather is extreme bad. I know my friends would also go to the party like I did because they love Halloween like me. With this idea in my mind, I definitely don’t want to be late in this situation.
