ONE SENTENCE HALLOWEEN STORY - 2023

[Dave-O2]

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 🎃

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!

[Mi-Amigo]

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

[Cleoriff]

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.......

[pgn]

Frought with fear, something gave...

[Cleoriff]

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

[Mi-Amigo]

"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:
