Halloweensie Story

Susannah Leonard Hill hosts a Halloween Story Contest every Halloween.  This year the challenge was to write a story of less than 100 words that included the words: costume, haunt and dark.  Here's my attempt :)

Not a Witch

My name is Grizelda.  

Can you tell what I am?

No way.  I’m not a witch!

Yes.  I do have a black hat....

and a black cat...

and pointy boots...

and a broom.  

But I’m not a witch!  

Do you have any hats?

Do you have any pets?

Do you have any boots?

Do you have a broom?

Maybe you’re a witch.

You’re not? Neither am I.

Maybe it’s too dark for you to see my costume.

What?  My house looks haunted?

Thanks.  I try really hard.  

But I’m not a witch...

I’m a little girl just like you.
