"The Scary House on the Corner" By: Kaylee Smith

Every Halloween all the kids in my neighborhood dare each other to go inside the scary dark house on the corner. Well, this year it happened . My best friend and I went inside the haunted house. It was at 8:28 pm to be exact and the weather was very, very cold and rainy with some spooky thunder. Madison and I walked very slowly up the driveway and very quietly we went inside the house.

As we went inside the house there was a long hallway with ten doors. We opened the second door we saw, and when we went through it, we were in some sort of laboratory. There were cupboards all along one wall. In the middle of the room was a fire pit and hanging above the flames was a large black cauldron with green slimy goo boiling over the top. Then we walked over to the wall of cupboards. The first cupboard we opened was filled with all different sized bottles of potions. The potions were in order from A to Z we grabbed Z and ran out the door. Then we were back in the hallway and we opened the next door. Then when we went through it, that led us to the back yard.
When we were in the backyard we opened the bottle and thousands of ghosts flew out of it. We threw the bottle across the yard and started running as fast as we could. We were running so fast we crashed into a tall scary man. He had black hair and his neck was bent. He was wearing a purple turtle neck sweater, a black lab coat and in one hand he had a bottle of green bubbly potion. He looked so angry. We were really scared, so we started running again and he chased after us. But he had really big feet and his boots were untied, so he tripped. When he tripped the potion that was in his hand spilled on us and every part of our clothes that the green potion touched started to smoke. Luckily Madison had a water bottle in her backpack and she was a quick thinker and pulled the water out of her bag and poured it on us. Then we started running again.
We were running so fast that we ran right past the ghosts, but the guy was not fast enough and the ghosts got him. We went back inside the house, but there were so many doors that we could not remember which one led out to the front yard. We opened every door until we found the right one. When we were finally in the front yard we walked back down the driveway the same way we came in and found our friends. We told our friends about everything that happened, but they did not believe us, until they saw the burn marks on our clothes.
