No, No! Not me!
It was a creepy, eerie October night in Ravenswood.
The fallen leaves covered the path leading to the abandoned house.
I will never forget the look of horror on the old man's face.
There I was, lost and alone on that Halloween night.
The sound of the howling wind kept me awake that evening.
It was midnight.

I sat curled up by the front door just counting the seconds until my parents would finally arrive.
