Halloween horror writing contest

Like I mentioned before, Hannah had to write a scary story for English class.  If selected, it will be submitted to the county library for their local writing contest. Here it is for your review. She said she would have gotten more descriptive of the monsters if only she had a larger word budget. On a related note, She was selected by her Teacher to enter a state writing contest, “letters about literature” Where she has to write a letter to the author of book of her choice.. Sounds interesting! Ill let you know more about that as it progresses.

Anyway, here is her scary story . IMO, She seems to let the “strange behavior of mom” thing hang a bit. But chances are when I ask her about it, she will say.. “They didn’t let me have enough words!! I was 100+ words over as it was!! Ill get dinged for that alone!” The last paragraph is a statement isn’t it? Seems a little “human condition” ish to me.

very well written..I never liked scary stories they creep me out but I love Sherlock Holmes and this has a cheekiness in it that I always felt in the Holmes stories!

Is that what you think Beck? Give me another choice and I might answer you.
