Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. It is
one of the few days I can hang out outside at night.
This year I was afraid we were not going to go, but my
friend from the baby sitters stopped by and asked all
of us to go. My sisters Emily, Sally and me are all
two years apart. Everyone still calls us the
triplets.
Every year we dress up like a Ghost, a Vampire and a
Princess. This year I get to be the Princess.
Walking through the neighborhood everyone just laughs
and plays. We have been all around our block and
Jessie's Mom wanted to drive further out to one of the
other neighborhoods. She said they have better
treats. "Susan what's taking you so long? It's
almost nine o'clock. Nobody gives out treats after
then. Almost everyone's turned out their lights
already." Jessie yelled out.
"My dress is caught in the door!" I yelled back. It
was blue satin with whit ruffles all around it. My
Mom made by hand.
I liked Jessie and her family, so did my sisters.
Everyday after school we would go there until Mom got
home. She did work in a laboratory. She was not very
clear about what she did there. Tonight we saw four
police officers. She told us that is, because people
like reasons to be bad.
Going up to the last house on the corner, the Old Lady
had a haunted house. Jessie's Mom said we should not
go. We had not been to one all night. We all really
wanted to though. Another police car turned the
corner. It looked all spooky inside with green
glowing lights all around.
Jessie's Mom said okay. The Old Lady said she wanted
to see who was going into her house. She seemed so
nice and sweet Emily and Sally took off their masks.
Jessie's Mom grabbed us quickly. We could hear the
woman, yelling, "Clones!"
