The rules are simple: write a halloween story 100 words or less using the words creep, mask, and skeleton. The story must have kid-appeal, and you can enter more than once. And now, let's meet one of the contestants – All the way from the West Coast of America, please welcome...  “Hello, hello! I'm so excited!” OK, JEN, show us your entry! The Witch's Butler By JEN Garrett Poor witch's butler is never invited to the Witches Halloween Ball But 2020 is his year, because... masks are required. He creeps past his sleeping boss, grabs the spare broom... and flies! “Mr. Witch, what big dark eyes you have,” The better to seek out ingredients “What thin hands you have,” The better to cast this spell! Fake Mr. Witch dances on bony feet. “You're not a witch!” the others screech. Skeleton is unmasked. But wait! He flew on a broom, brewed and spelled as good as anyone. Who says a bony man can't be a witch? Well, that was a lovely entry. Be sure to post the link on Susanna's website! “Oh, I will, I will!” And for all you folks at home, be sure to post your link or entry, too, because you could win: (Go drool -er- see them on Susanna's website!)

Thanks! I tried to comment on yours, but I have this years-long war with Wordpress, and I don't know if you saw it. Yours was fun, too, with poor Skeleton in a pandemic world. https://jilannehoffmann.com/2020/10/30/pandemic-halloween-halloweensie/ 10/31/2020 06:24:15 am
Such fun! I love how the skeleton gets to attend the ball & cast spells! Happy Halloween! 11/2/2020 06:58:59 am
