The Escape


The day before Thanksgiving the farmer caught Tom the turkey and put him in his pen and gave him some grain.The turkey remarked,“yummy” and ate all the food. Tom overheard the farmer talking to his wife about Thanksgiving dinner.” When do you need the turkey for Thanksgiving?” he asked. Tom the turkey thought that he's getting invited for Thanksgiving dinner. The farmer stated, “I can't wait to taste that turkey.” Just then the turkey realized that he was supposed to be “dinner”. 

Tom then jumped the fence and sprinted.The farmer and his wife ran after the turkey, and sped through the bushes and up the hill. He hustled down another hill and to the pond. The turkey realized it was a dead end and started flapping his wings. He flew over the pond. “They can't catch me now, I'm free,” he said.

Just then a red haired bulky kid wearing a vampire costume stepped in front of  them. As he removed his cheap plastic fangs from his mouth, slobber dripped down his chin.  Cora recognized the boy from school as the bully who stole kids lunches, and lunch money.  "Hey nerds, what you got fo...

The Mysterious Stranger

It was Halloween night.  The moon shown over the  river, and thick fog hung over shoreline giving off an eerie glow. A dog wandered along the road and wined. Through the thick fog a small boat appeared. The craft docked on the riverbank and a shadowy figure emerged. He pulled his craft upon the shore and stepped upon the beach.  He was strange figure dressed in a dark  suit of clothing and a tricorn hat.   From a distance a set of lights came into view and a vehicle screeched to a halt. The driver got out and surveyed the situation. He observed a man lying in the road dressed in some sort of costume. The figure groaned and rolled over. " Are you all right?" the driver was distraught.  He pulled out his phone and started to dial an ambulance. Just then the man sat up.  " It seems that I am." said the main checking himself over. He was staring at the driver who was holding his phone in his hand. He then stared at the car now on the shoul...
