These were all written, you guessed it, near Halloween!
Students were asked to create a two-sentence story that was scary and made the reader 'conned the dots.' If they came right out with something frightening, it was back to the drawing board with their work. "How does the reader make the connection to the scary thing, instead of you just telling us 'there's a scary thing'?"
Every time his mom would take a picture, the hand would get closer to the boy's shoulder.
I woke up to the dog licking my face...which was strange because my dog was put down when I was three.
I saw a car come up the drive, but I didn't see anyone in it.
You were just about to fall asleep and you hear: "Good-night, sweetie." You feel saliva drip on your face and when you look up, you see a shadow.
My neighbour is so nice to me, she smiles at me every day! I wonder why she always wears a hospital gown every time I see her.
While I was outside playing, then sun came. I saw my shadow - I moved around, but my shadow stayed still.
I hear someone calling me from downstairs. I wonder who it could be since I'm home alone.
