“The Haunted Mansion”

by Kerah Shannon

On October the twenty-ninth James, Bill, Tommy, and Frank decided to go to the creepy mansion everyone was talking about. They were fifth graders at Crisp Elementary Public School, and would watch the clock for recess each day to run outside to meet each other to talk about Haunted Mansion. The boys realized that the morning news said it would rain so they decided that they would have to go to the mansion on a rainy day sighing. Then Jessie and McKayla came up to them and asked what where they doing says Jessie. Tommy replied, oh nothing….just talking about the Haunted Mansion. Oh can we come says McKayla. Sure, all of the boys said. When the busses arrived they all waved good bye while getting on the bus.

It was Friday October 30th, in class Frank and Tommy was so excited they kept talking about the Haunted Mansion they almost got in trouble, so the boys stopped talking until they got to P.E.

At P.E. they made plans to be prepared for the mansion. After that they were ready, then Frank brought up a problem that he has not asked him mom yet. So make sure you ask her, said Tommy, Frank says okay as Coach Bodie says line up. At recess they all talked about who’s golf cart they would take. Then it was time for busses. They were all excited to get on the busses to go home.

When Frank got home he begged his mom to go to the Mansion, luckily she said yes. They all got dressed and they decided to use Bill’s golfcart. So everyone rode their bikes to Bill’s house. Bill grabbed the keys and told his parents good bye as they drove away. When they got to the Mansion the boys noticed a sign that said Fifth Graders and up, then they parked and walked inside. Inside they saw a huge scary clown jump out right in front of their faces. They all screamed and after that they began to laugh. They continued through the mansion very scared but they made it out. At this time they were ready to head home.

As they were driving they looked behind them and saw the clown that was at the beginning of the mansion. They sped off before the clown could get them. Back at school they were all taking about it. Then they got a announcement on the intercom that school was canceled because of some clown. Everyone went home instead of Frank Tommy and Jessie going home they went to Bill’s house. When they arrived at Bill’s house Bill asked his mom if they could get pizza. She said okay, when she was leaving they saw the clown again. The clown came into the house they then saw it was Frank’s dad.

Frank’s dad said “Got You”.

They all started laughing and they never went to the Haunted Mansion again.
