I love writing contests! I love prompts, and rules, and deadlines!
Here is my entry for the 2020 Fall Writing Frenzy brought to us by Lydia Lukidis and Kaitlyn Sanchez. There are sure to be a ton of fun fall-themed stories, each 200 words or less. Check them out here!

My story was inspired by this image:
HALLOWEEN LITE
Kelly Conroy
For kids who get frightened
on Halloween night,
we have a new option
called “Halloween Lite.”
No skeletons, mummies,
or witches with cats.
No dark haunted houses,
or cobwebs, or rats.
No nightmarish knickknacks
allowed on our shelves.
No need for a costume —
we’ll dress as ourselves.
No sinister music.
No ghosts yelling, “Boo!”
Instead, we’ll blow kisses
and say, “I love you.”
We’ll strip out the scary
and add in some sweet.
You don’t like this option?
Phew! Let’s Trick-or-Treat!
Good rhyming, had a nice rhythm. I like that you make it ok to be scared, and offer suggestions. Also like the ending, very cute and clever. Good luck.Stay well.
Thank you! Stay well to you too!!
Lol so cute, the twist the was great
