Halloweensie 2021

10/29/2021

It's time for another kid lit contest: Halloweensie, hosted by Susanna Hill. 

The challenge: write an eensie-weensie 100-word Halloweenie story, using the words goodies, glow-in-the-dark, and goosebumps.

Here's my entry!

Who Cares if it's Cold?

99 words


I was supposed to be a glow-in-the-dark jellyfish.
Floaty. Beachy.

Then it snowed.

Look, I’m twelve. This is my last year of trick-or-treating, 
and I refuse to wear a musty old coat over my costume!

When Dad drops me off, I’ll give a cozy wave and then
kick the coat to the curb.

I’m going down in goose-bumpy glory!

“T-t-trick-or-treat!”
Maybe I’ll drape it over my shoulders.

“Thh-th-thank you!”
One arm in?

“H-h-happy Halloween!”
Zzzzip!

It’s so annoying when Dad’s right.

But these pockets do hold extra goodies. 
And at least I’m the only 
glow-in-the-parka 
smellyfish 
on the street!​
