Once upon a time, on a quaint avenue named Pumpkin Lane, sneaky shadows skulked and devilish laughter echoed. My friends and I, fearfully excited, planned the largest trick-or-treat raid. Every house was an opportunity, the sweet temptation of candy motivating our courageous hearts.
Our fearless leader, Jack, led us to an immeasurable mansion at the end of the street. It was reputedly haunted, the rumors said, with strange lights frequently seen and eerie sounds often heard. As Jack moved to knock on the mansion’s ominous door, I felt a chill winding its way up the small of my back.
To our surprise, the door creaked open invitingly. We stepped inside, the smell of candy canes and chocolates teasing our senses. Then, suddenly, an ancient voice boomed, “You seek treats, you get tricks!” The floor beneath us vanished, and we tumbled down into a pit of… fluff and feathers?
Rising from the pit, we were met with a full-scale Halloween party, candy floating around, disco lights casting whimsical shadows on the cheerful crowd. The ancient voice boomed again, “HAPPY HALLOWEEN, TRICK AND TREATERS!” and our haunted mansion was simply Mr. Wilson, the elderly man, hosting a stunning Halloween party. Talk about a ‘graveyard smash’!
