It's the thirteenth annual Halloweensie writing competition, hosted by Susanna Leonard Hill. It's my third year participating in this fun holiday writing challenge. This year, we were tasked with writing a short story (no more than 100 words) for kids under 12 using the words werewolf, superstition, and fright. Check out my entry below! A Haunted Treasure Hunt By Ashlee MacCallum 100 words Look down. An envelope. You should pick it up. Inside? A map. You are here. Walk down the haunted hill. Go past the coffins. Take a left at the cauldron. Superstitious? Avoid the black cat. Turn right at the werewolf’s den. Skip until you reach the dancing skeletons. Take three leaps forward. Spin around five times. STOP. Do you hear that? Never mind. It’s just the ghosts moaning. Frightened yet? Now—close your eyes. Wait until I tap your shoulder. Tap. Here. X marks the spot. Hope you brought a shovel. Huh. A DEAD end. What did you expect? HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
