“A Dream?”

by Aria Myers

Once upon a time there was a girl named Sophia. Sophia loved Halloween; this year she was going to be a witch. Sophia and her family were getting ready for bed. It was October thirtieth, so that meant she would wake up in the morning and it would be Halloween! Sophia tucked herself into bed and closed her eyes. Then slowly, she opened them. It was Halloween day, but for some reason her family was already getting ready for trick-or-treating. “That’s weird.” Sophia thought. Wasn’t Halloween supposed to be at night? “Oh well.” Then she got ready. Suddenly, her broomstick started glowing! Sophia picked it up and she started glowing! She reached in her pocket and pulled out a wand! “Floaty Activate!” she said with a whoosh of her wand. Sophia started floating! “Okay,” she told herself, “This is not normal.” Sophia walked downstairs and her mom said, “Let’s get trick-or-treating!” That sounded good to Sophia, she wanted to try out the broomstick! When she finally got outside and most of her family was gone, she hopped on the broomstick. “Woah!” she thought, “I’m flying, on a broomstick!” To steer you had to shift the broom to one side or the other. To go fast you had to lean forward. “I’m kind of getting the hang of it!” she said, “Forget the trick-or-treating, this is much more fun!” Sophia went on for ages, flying even higher than the clouds! This was spooky, but cool! Then her family came back with bags full of candy, Sophia wondered if they had powers too. She jumped off the broomstick and headed inside. Strangely, it was late, the day felt very short. Sophia changed out of her costume and into her pajamas. She looked out the window and saw three moons, all different phases. “That’s even weirder.” She spoke. Sophia was about to turn off the light when something white floated by the window. She was pretty sure it was a ghost, and Sophia was terrified of them! She sat in bed but didn’t turn off the light. It was too risky. Then, the power went out! “Wow,” thought Sophia, “Perfect timing.” She was just sitting there in the dark when a ghost popped up in front of her bed! It was getting closer and closer then, whoosh! She woke up! “Was that a dream?” she asked herself. Sophia looked at her broomstick, and it was glowing. “I wonder.” She said.

The End!
