Scary Story Contest Entry: ''Twas the Night of Halloween'

     'Twas the night of Halloween and all through the house,

Every creature was stirring, including a mouse.

     Internal organs were hung over the chimney with care,

In hopes the Grim Reaper soon would be there.

     Everyone had bulging eyes, in the sight of dead guys.

With Mom and Dad not having to yak,

     I went to the fridge for a nice, Halloween snack.

And, I heard in the graveyard, such a loud clatter,

     I went to see what was the matter!

I went home and flew to the window with a flash,

     Opened the shutters and ripped off the sash!

With the full moon shining on burning ash,

     Hopefully, I would find some cash!

Soon, I saw someone slice something in half.

     The someone was death and

The something was a calf!

     He had a skeleton made of old, dry bones,

I thought for a minute it must be Billy Bones!      

    So, I knew this story was going to get gory.

     As ash and monsoons tore,

I knew the zombie must be poor.

     There were many zombies and one gnat

So, I picked up a club that was a baseball bat!

     At least the club was not a dino drumstick,

Or, it would have be so heavy, I could not make a nick!

     I bashed the bat and hit a zombie home run,

I began to think, “This is kind of fun!”

     When I killed the last zombie, I thought it the end,

But, then, soon death came around a big bend.

     Death was bony and wore a black cloak,

So, I knew he did not drink Diet Coke!

     His bones were cold as steel,

Like a victim of starvation looking for a meal.

     He called my mom’s name and

Pointed his weapon, as if to aim!

     Again and again, Death sliced as he cut,

Then, a werewolf appeared and called, “Stupid mutt!”  

     I grabbed my hero clothes, Hylian

Shield and Master Sword,

     But, it turned out my shield was

Only an old, wooden board!

     So, I charged him as fast as I could,

But missed him and stumbled

     On javelins made of wood!

I hid in the dark to ambush, at night,

     But, it turned out they were

Hiding in plain sight!

     So, I threw the javelins

At the zombies all night!

     Trust me, it was

Really a fright!

     I knew I was done,

After one final strike,

     So, I ate a Mike-Ike!

     Then, a ghost scared the

 Living crap out of me.

     When I saw him again, I

Knew who he must be,

    He was none other than the

Mayor of town, Halloween!

     The mayor was down,

Yet he said, “Happy Halloween

to the ill, and let’s all

watch Kill Bill!”
