(A slightly extended version from the original that was written for a specific contest)
by
Michelle Nott
The
final bell clanged. Schoolwitches cheered. It was Halloween break!
Lizzy
Witch kicked up her broomstand and soared home to her black cat.
"Where's
Spooky?" she asked Mum.
"We
never know," she cackled.
Lizzy
echoed into the caldron. "Spooky."
She
plucked through the pumpkin patch. "Spoooky."
She
flew over the chimney and under the thorn bushes. "Spooooooky!"
Lizzy
coasted home with empty arms and an empty tummy.
"Soup's
on," said Mum.
Lizzy
sobbed. "I can't eat without Spooky."
"Who
do you think brought in the ingredients?" Mum winked.
Lizzy
took a whiff from the caldron. “Hmmm,
pumpkin roots, ivy leaves, and thorn stems. My favorite.”
Just
then, Spooky circled Lizzy's legs and sprang into her arms.
"You
sneaky, spooky cat," said Lizzy. “Happy Halloween to you,
too!”
