Happy Halloween everyone! I’m not much into the gore of Halloween, but I am looking forward to taking my kids trick-or-treating tonight.
Susanna Leonard Hill is having another Halloween contest on her blog this year, and I had so much fun with last year’s contest, I wanted to do it again. It’s a Haloweensie contest, because it’s short and it’s for kids. We are challenged to write 100 words using the words spooky, black cat, and cackle. Here’s my contribution:
ARE YOU SCARED YET?
“I’m ready, ” said the little black cat.
“Let’s hear it,” said the big black cat.
“Booooooo,” said Little Cat.
Big Cat curled up. “Not spooky enough.”
“Ah ha ha ha,” she cackled, wrinkling her nose.
Big Cat yawned. “Not creepy enough.”
Little Cat bared her teeth. “Mwah ha ha,” she said.
“I’m still not scared,” said Big Cat, closing his eyes.
Little Cat took a deep breath and growled from her belly, getting louder until her body vibrated.
“Rawr!” she bellowed, and Big Cat jumped straight into the air.
“Not bad,” Big Cat said.
Little Cat smiled. I’m ready.
