ONE SENTENCE HALLOWEEN STORY - 2023

Dave-O2 — Fri, 27 Oct 2023 09:29:20 GMT

Good morning

As it's Friday it's time to pull out the reading chair and get your writer's head on to take part in the ONE SENTENCE HALLOWEEN STORY - 2023 edition.

I've taken inspiration from the 2022 edition created by @Cleoriff and this year's story will follow similar rules, which can be seen below ↘️

The story will need involvement from several members to complete the story.
You can contribute more than one sentence, however, let others get involved in between.
As this is a Halloween Story, please make this as spooky as you can and keep us all on the edge of our seats
I have started the story below, so you'll just need to comment on the thread to continue the tale.
The story will come to a close when I comment: THE END.
The complete story will then be posted for all to read from start to finish.

I hope you all have a frightfully fantastic day 🎃

A NOT SO SILENT NIGHT

She turned off the porch light and set the bowl of candy on the table. Trick or treating was officially over. She sighed. Thankful for the silence, she began walking up the stairs to brush her teeth. Something made her pause. Turning her head, she looked to see if the door was locked. It was. Looking out the window, the street appeared to be just as empty and silent as the house. Silly, she thought and took another step. Then she heard it again....................................................

Maybe. just maybe someone was being murdered!!. She turned on the stairs ready to descend and then.....

The noise came from behind her, yet again... What on earth was happening?

She was a bit upset now. More so as she had descended those damn stairs in a very unusual way. Was the noise downstairs or upstairs....she felt a bit dizzy now

As she came around from her faint, she caught sight of this image in the full-length mirror at the bottom of the stairs...

She eventually stood up and was terrified to see something glowing and flickering outside.

Trembling she opened her door slightly Aaaaggghhh she screamed

She thought there was a twirl of something white with a small screech

Bl**dy Pumpkins, she muttered, and hurled the umbrella stand out the door at whatever was in the flickering light...

'Aggghhhh back to you' whispered the scary pumpkin, "What a weird face you have. More scary than mine!!"

On looking again after throwing the umbrella stand she saw a pair of ghostly hands reaching out to to grab her by the throat

For some reason, she was unable to move...

Leave my throat she pleaded. I've been good. You can pull my hair out if you like, it's a right mess

Her bony fingers encountered something soft and yielding...

Quick as a flash , a dog appeared - a stitched-together mutt!

"A stitched-together mutt ?" she muttered "What harm can that do ?"; when suddenly the dog bared its fangs and lunged at her....

Is that Sparky, she yelled, here boy, help me out.

However, the dog, not recognising his weird owner, growled and jumped up pulling at one of her hands. It was a bone after all.......

It was one of her hands, ripped off at the wrist by Sparky, the one time faithful dog!

"When I said it was `armless, I meant the dog not me" she cried; and kicked out at the dog....

Rushing back upstairs, she went to lock herself in the bathroom, only to encounter:
