The Annual Halloweenie Writing Contest is one of my favorites. It is a challenge that forces writers to stay under 100 words which is always tricky, but fun. You can find all of the rules on Susanna Hill’s blog.
Here is my 100 word Halloween story.
Costume Perfection
by Erin Buhr
Angella could never pick just one costume. How dull.
So this Halloween she was a
Skeleton Princess Superhero Koala.
On Halloween night she got ready.
Skeleton Mask.
Princess Gown.
Superhero Cape.
Koala Ears.
Perfection.
“Trick or Treat!”
“Aren’t you a cute…skeleton?”
Angella frowned.
“Trick or Treat!”
“Oh! A princess?”
Angella scowled.
“Trick or Treat!”
“What in the world are you dear?”
Angella glowered.
The Skeleton Princess Superhero Koala crept home frustrated and exhausted.
The following year Angella wasn’t any better at picking just one costume. How dull.
So this Halloween, she was a
Firefighting Astronaut Olympian
with signage.
Perfection.
he he he. the narrator sounds like my granddaughter!
Thanks Kathi! I love that you heard her voice here.
Ha ha! This is my neice -I think she was a unicorn princess Skye this year!
Oh my gosh! I love that!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Cute! Glad she figured out to let people know what her costume was.
Thanks Nancy. I’m glad you liked it.
That’s a story kids can relate to. Who can chose just one when there are so many good options?
Thanks Katie. It’s an endless dilemma in my house 🙂
You captured kids who love to mishmash perfectly, Erin. And the solution (signage) was perfect! Well done!
Thanks so much Jill!
