On a crisp, October evening, beneath the orange glow of a harvest moon, Timothy the timid ghost found himself staring longingly at the warmly lit windows of the bustling Halloween party inside the old mansion. He didn’t have the courage to join, but the vibe was so electrifying, he yearned to be part of the fun.
With a deep breath, as much as a ghost can gulp down air, he mustered up his spectral courage and floated through the ancient oak door. People shrieked and ran in all directions, thinking they saw a real ghost, which, ironically, was true. Amid the chaos, Timothy was left standing, semi-transparent and utterly embarrassed.
Just when Timothy thought of leaving, a little girl dressed as a fairy princess sashayed up and smiled at him. She was the first human to greet him as a guest rather than an apparition. Timothy couldn’t help but smile back.
They danced, played games and even shared a candy corn or two. The Halloween party turned out to be the best night of Timothy’s after-life. Until, the fairy princess, twirling an iridescent wand, cheerfully exclaimed, “That’s enough play time for tonight Timothy,” and with a swift wave, Timothy experienced a strange tingling sensation.
And just like that, Timothy wasn’t a ghost anymore. The little fairy-princess-turned-sorceress had brought him back to life, giving him a second chance and certainly, the Halloween of his lifetime!
