11th Annual Halloweensie Writing Contest Entry

 Hello everyone,

I'm happy to participate once again in Susanna Leonard Hill's Halloweensie Writing Contest! The rules this time are a story that is 100 words or less and contains the following words: glow-in-the-dark, goosebumps, and goodies. My entry is below. I hope you enjoy it.

A Tricky Tattoo

(100 words)

Going through my Halloween goodies, there is a bag with a goosebumps glow-in-the-dark temporary tattoo and a piece of algae green candy that smells like sweaty socks. I know it’s from Mr. Wonkers. He gives the worst treats so he gets our best tricks. “The candy will stop the spread!” is written on the back of the tattoo. I toss the candy in the garbage and put the tattoo on. The glowing goosebumps spread all over my body! I dive into the garbage and retrieve the candy. It’s disgusting but the goosebumps go away. You won this year Mr. Wonkers!

Check out the other great entries here.

Happy Halloween everyone.

The 6th Annual Valentiny Writing Contest

 Here's my entry for this year's Valentiny writing contest hosted by Susanna Leonard Hill. I hope you enjoy it. 

A Valentine's Day Quest in the Land of Moore
(208 words)

Darkness fell across the land of Moore. Wil was so close to the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for his mother he could taste it. All he had to do was brave the last three obstacles and it would be his.

He bounded over the squishy rocks of Coucherton like a kangaroo.

He scaled the cliffs of Libraria like a lizard.

Finally, he leapt like a sugar glider and grabbed the spinning blades of Windamore. He gripped the blades tightly and waited for the perfect opportunity to grab the gift.

The more the blades spun, the dizzier he became. He felt his grip slowly releasing. This was his only chance to grab the gift.

He stuck his arm out as far as he could and, “SHWACK!” the gift was in his grasp. He shouted, “Excelsior!” and released from the blades landing on the top of the cliffs of Libraria.

The darkness quickly disappeared with a bright flash of light.

“Wil!” his mother shouted. “What are you doing on top of the bookcase?”

“I rescued your Valentine’s Day gift. Happy Valentine’s Day!”

“Thank you honey. But that box of candy is for you.”

“Even better,” Wil said with a smile. He landed on the couch and tore into the candy.
