Christopher's Halloween

Christopher’s Halloween

It was Christopher’s first Halloween. Christopher is a mouse. He is only two years old so he could only go trick or treating with his brother John and his sister Sue Ellen. The three of them set off. Christopher was a pumpkin, John was a vampire and Sue Ellen was a fairy. Their Mom told them to be home at nine o’ clock P.M. First stop was Mrs. Burgen’s house. It was a tall fat building. “What do you know, the folks are rich!” said John. After John said that, Christopher was out of sight. He muttered “W- w- w- where is he?” Sue Ellen said “Where is wh”, then there was a cut “o” she said in a whispery voice. And then both of them panicked which sent them running like crazy. There was a shadow in the bushes then they saw that the shadow was Christopher’s at the end of main street. John said “He’s going into the witch’s house.” Together they said “uh-oh!” So they followed Christopher in the house. They opened the door eeeeeeeee. Then closed it eeeeeeeee. SMASH! “This house gives me the shivers.” said John. “Oh sure it does because I’m a sixth grader and your only a fifth grader and it doesn’t give me the shivers.” bragged Sue Ellen. Suddenly there was a howl “Whoooooooooooooo!” “Now it gives me the shivers!” said Sue Ellen jumping up. The curtains flapped up and down, side to side. The windows started to open and close WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! They saw the doors. There were seven doors. The seventh door was half opened. They ran to the door and looked for any signs. They found one on the window that said DINING TABLE AND KITCHEN. They looked inside and saw… Christopher drinking lemonade while eating cookies. They saw an old lady eating with him. She told them that her curtains always go up and down, side to side because of the wind. Her windows are broken and the wind always howls on Halloween nights. So they joined the feast and went home just on time for bedtime.
