It’s Halloween again, yay for candy!  Er…I mean costumes!!!

And of course I can’t break tradition an NOT write a Halloween story for entry into Susanna Leonard Hill’s Halloweensie Contest.

I don’t break tradition.

Though I didn’t put up my Halloween decor this year, so I guess that I do. What I meant to say was…I TRY not to break tradition.

Are we good? Great!

Alright here are the details:

*100 words or less, must include the words potion, cobweb & trick, and it must be aimed at children 12 or below.

So…

Did you know that a tiger spider is a real thing? Well of course you did, doesn’t everyone? But do you know how it came to be? Well of course you don’t, because I am just getting around to telling you that story, ha!

Go on! Find out for yourself. It’s absolutely scientific! Well, it’s absolutely Halloweensie anyhow.

 

TIGER, SPIDER, SPELL 

(WC-99)

By, Angela (Angie) Hawkins

 

Zebra’s Halloween Bash was in full swing, but Tiger was not invited.

So instead…

Tiger paced, and he chuffed, and he pawed.

And then he had a terrific idea.

Flipping through a book called Potions and Such,

Tiger turned himself into a striped equid named Trix.

Prancing inside he beamed with pride, for they’d never guess this guest was their foe.

But Tiger had picked the ‘shrooms a bit late, which meant that the potion would change back at eight… kinda.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Now forever spinning a cobwebby tale,

Tiger cautions the dangers of a Halloween spell.

THE END

 

See? Totally scientific!

Now, about that Halloween Costume throwback thing. I thought I’d show you some of our Best of the Best throughout the years. We never do store bought…that’s too easy! Anyone that really knows me, knows that I don’t have an Easy Button! I like a good challenge. And apparently last minute costume challenges love me, to which I say, Game On!

 

 

Would love to hear which ones are your favorites, perhaps even show me one of yours in the comments below!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
