Aaahhhrrroooooo! Yippee and tee-hee-hee! It is Susanna Hill’s Annual Halloweensie Contest and my Teensy-Weensy Witch is back for another adventure!
The challenge: Write a Halloween story suitable for children (under 12) in 100 words or less, making sure you use the words shiver, cauldron and howl. Easy right!!
Since 2015, my Teensy-Weensy Witch has been causing havoc and mayhem in The Little Red Story Shed at Halloween, and she is back for another instalment this year! So without further ado, here is…
Potion Commotion
(100 words)
A candy munching monster helped the Teensy-Weensy Witch
to mix up a concoction when his nose began to twitch.
The sticky, steamy vapours started conjuring a sneeze,
that burst through doors and windows and howled upon the breeze.
The cauldron took a wobble and the gooey gloop took flight,
splashing trick-or-treaters who were lurking in the night.
The witch looked through her fingers, gave a shiver, then a wink.
She shouted “Happy Halloween, we’ve turned the night bright pink!”
She leaned into the kettleful to try a little lick,
“We’ve spun up cotton candy, now all we need’s a stick!”
Don’t forget to rush over to Susanna’s blog (susannahill.com) to read all the wonderful entries, and there is still time to enter, deadline is Wednesday 31st October at 11.59 PM EDT.
Thanks for stopping by.
A cotton candy potion is one I would like to create. Good luck!
