Here's my 93- word entry for this year:
WHO’S REAL?
by Maria Marshall
They promised -
“This time, we’ll stick together.”
But a block later,
not a familiar ghoul was in sight.
I rested on a stone wall,
As everyone crept past in realistic costumes.
A skeleton plopped beside me, sighing.
“They ditch you too?” I asked.
We stared at each other –
“Hey! You look like my brother!” we cried. “Jinx!”
Laughing, we removed our costume heads.
And . . . blinked.
No way!
A real kid?! A real skeleton?!
Laughing, we exchanged chocolate bars and gummy bones.
Then, replacing our masks, the human and I set out for more candy.
