Monster Mash

Authors Note: I wrote this piece because, I was in the Halloween mood today. In this piece I tried to work on my voice. Happy Halloween!

One Halloween morning it was quiet all through the house. Until Logan woke up and decided to go downstairs for breakfast. As Logan crept down the stairs he stopped and stared. He looked around and couldn't see anyone. The house was dark and a tad bit frightening.  Logan called for his dad, but not a soul responded. Logan called  for his mom and the room might have became even more silent. Logan looked around and couldn't find anyone, not his dad, mom, or even his brother Austin. He let out one more shout looking for a someone to answer, but no one did.

When Logan stood there in his living room he cried to himself, "where has everyone gone?" Then Logan heard something, it was a scowling sound; it was a voice of a ghost that had stopped into town.  Logan more scared than before tried to hide behind the couch. But it was far to late for hiding, the ghost had already found him. During the time when Logan was hiding behind the couch he thought up a plan. The ghost moved closer and closer to him. Finally the ghost got close enough to the couch for Logan to follow through with his plan. Logan pushed the couch over on top of the ghost and had just enough time to run through the front door of his house.

The cool air hit Logan's thin pajamas and he could barley feel his toes, but he new he had to get away from that ghost. Logan started sprinting down his street not looking back. He had noticed nobody was outside only the their cheap Halloween directions in their front lawns. As Logan was sprinting past every house, decoration, and driveway he began to notice something moving and it wasn't the ghost trailing behind him. The Halloween decorations started to move. The ghost and witches were flying, people with pumpkin heads creeping, and vampires feeding on the blood of animals.

Logan kicked into gear and started sprinting even faster, somewhere far away from the witches laughter. The monsters followed him down the street, which only made him go faster. As much as the monsters wanted to catch him they couldn't. After all they just running for dinner and he was running for his life. After sprinting 11 blocks Logan began to get tired, but the monsters were not. Logan knew he had to get out of there, he ran two more blocks saw his friend John's house. He made the fast choose to duck into his house.

Quickly he locked all of the doors and looked out the window. The monsters were gone, and the decorations weren't on the lawns. Logan knew that the monsters were still out there so he went down to the basement to hide.

"Surprise!" Everyone shouted.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to see you guys," Logan said, "there are monsters outside we all have to hide!"

"You mean these monsters?" Logan's friend John questioned as all of the people pulled masks out from behind his mask.

"Yeah.." stuttered Logan, "You guys are the monsters?"

"Yeah man we totally got you," stated John.

"But how did you pull it off?" Logan asked.

"Well, early this morning I hid in your house and made ghost sounds as everyone else sat on side on their lawns. After I scared you out of your house, you ran down the street and everyone else started to follow you. Late last night we hung some decorations of Witches and ghosts in trees so that in all of the chaos it looked like they were flying. Then when you went into my house, we all snuck around the back and we went through the basement door," said John proudly.

"But why'd you do it?" Logan asked.

"Because, last week you put a grape in my sandwich," replied John.

"You almost scared me to death because, I put a grape in your sandwich?" Logan said angrily.

"Well when you put it like that it doesn't sound to good," John  said under his breath.

Since then every Halloween Logan and John pull pranks on each other. Every year the pranks get worse, and every year they laugh about it in the end. To this day Logan still regrets putting that grape in John's sandwich.
