Week 2A: Creative Costumes

When I was a kid my family didn’t really celebrate Halloween. Sure I dressed up for my first few Halloweens. The traditional pumpkin costume is the only costume I can remember. Other than that, I don’t remember too many Halloweens. There is one Halloween that stands out amongst the rest. My family made this scarecrow with an ugly mask. My mom made my brother and I take a picture in front of it. I was terrified of the thing! When we were finished I ran inside to watch the Halloween special on TV. I also would hide from the trick-or-treaters. All the different costumes and masks still frighten me to this day. After the trick-or-treating hours were over, there was a knock on the door. I was apprehensive at first to open the door. So I opened it cautiously, and… DUN DUN DUNNNNN! The scarecrow boogieman was standing in my doorway! “Hello Jessalyn,” it said. It new my name! How could that be? And then I realized I hadn’t seen my dad in a while.
