Halloweensie Contest 2017: TRICKS & TREATS
It’s Halloweensie time! Every October author Susanna Hill hosts a writing contest. The rules: write a 100 word Halloween story for kids 12 and under using the words candy corn (counted as one word), monster, and shadow.
Tricks & Treats
The Candy Corn Quartet arrived early to the annual Halloween auditions.
They turned the lights on bright just as the Caramel Candy Quintet
stepped up to perform.
Rather than stick to their notes, the candy stuck to one another.
Backstage, the Chocolate Bars practiced their harmony.
“Nice white costumes,” laughed the quartet.
The Bars sweat through their performance and onto the floor. “Cone
heads!” they yelled.
Up next, the quartet sang in perfect pitch. They got the gig!
The quartet rang the doorbell. A large shadow loomed.
“Treats are here,” yelled a monster. “Yum, my favorite!”
And he gobbled them up.

Great story, love the ending, very original!
Aww, thanks Jean. Fun contest.
So clever and fun, Keila! Very original with all the musical themes! Love the puns and word play, and the surprise ending! Great job 🙂 Thanks so much for joining in on Halloweensie!
Thanks! I’m so happy I participated. Such a fun contest. So many great entries!
Didn’t see that coming! Very funny!
Thanks Delfina! Fun contest and this was fun to write. 🙂
I’m wondering what song they were singing. Maybe Lionel Richie’s, “Stuck on You.” Good luck!
Too funny Gregory!
What a surprise with the candy corn’s demise. Good job. Good luck in the contest.
Thanks Ken!
Who’d have thought the auditions were for such a dangerous gig? Not the cone heads! Thanks for the giggle. Good luck.
Teehee! Thanks Maria.
Love the strong voices of these characters! You were inspired! I’m so glad you wrote a story that made me laugh. From now on, I’ll always think of candy corn as cone heads.
Haha! Thanks for reading it Jilanne!
Haha, Subversive and fun! Happy Halloweensie!
Thanks Jen!
Oh, my! They, like me, never saw it coming! Thanks for a fun story, Keila.
Teehee! Those cone heads!
