I met Matilda at Michael's and she came home to live, well not live, but hang out, at my house. While she looks like a bunch of bones, she lives on in this story.
Halloweensie Rules: Halloween Story, 100 words or less, must include the words, potion, trick, and cobweb, for ages 12 and under.
Matilda's Treat
Matilda died long ago.
Her skin is gone, but
not her dream.
The full moon’s bright,
and she has risen.
Time to mix her favorite
potion.
The cauldron bubbles,
steams, and boils.
She tosses in
Eye of newt and bat wing
leather,
A vulture’s head and
just one feather.
She stirs and stirs.
It’s almost ready.
One last touch, gently
folded in;
shimmery, glistening
spider webs.
Light and fluffy . . .
the
perfect batch of cobweb candy.
Matilda waits for her
guests.
Children come singing,
“Trick-or-Treat.”
She raises her hand and
makes her offer.
Would you try it?
Would you dare?
I don't think I woud try it! LOL! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteUm...since I don't eat cotton candy, no. But I hope Matilda finds some more adventurous trick or treaters.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure.....if I would end up like Matilda....nice story! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I would try her treats, but I like that Matilda returns to celebrate Halloween.
