The Jack-o-Lantern Scare

trees moved, I saw a bright light coming slowly

towards the house. I was paralysed with fear. “What

if it’s a Jack-o-Lantern?” I murmured to myself,
remembering Grandma’s stories about how they

usually come out at night. I quickly shifted my eyes.

That’s when I saw it. A shadow moved across the

yard. My heart stopped and my throat went dry.

“Who is out there?” I shrieked but no one

answered. I saw the shadow move again and this

time I called out louder, “Hey you! Get away from

here, I’m getting my dad right now!”
