A Scare at Halloween

By Maggie Haswell

It was Halloween, and for the first time I was allowed to go with my big brother

Mikey to the bonfire in the crags (*Crags are a rocky area often overgrown)

It was dark in the crags so I stayed close to Mikey and the lantern. We could see the

bonfire through the trees

When we got to the bonfire we told ghost stories. It was cool but a little scary!!

Then through the trees we saw them…The walking dead…ZOMBIES!!!

“Run!” they said. “Keep up!” said Mikey.They ran into the bushes. But I couldn’t keep up.

I was alone…The ZOMBIES were coming! What will I do?

I hid behind a tree.

The ZOMBIES spoke…”Where is everyone,” they said.

“Is that you Maggie?” said the biggest ZOMBIE. He sounded just like my cousin Danny O’Neill

“The boys got scared and ran off,” I said. “I’ll take you home” said DANNY

“Thanks for bringing me home Zombies,” I said.“Anytime Maggie,” they said. “Your Mam’s waiting.”

By the time Mikey got home I had finished my tea, had my bath and was watching TV. Mikey said he and the boys had

searched the whole crags looking for me…silly duffers.
