HALLOWEEN STORY part 2

I was terryfied but I couldn't move. I expected the worst when suddenly it gave me a hug and started to cry. I didn't know what to do. And then I realised that it was Halloween and on that night the strangest creaturest may appear. But how to make it to disappear? If it came from the wardrobe maybe the same way it was going to return to its home, wherever it was. So I decided to push it to my sister's wardrobe. It seemed to be quite happy when I showed it new door of wooden wardrobe. To my surprise it waved its hand, nodded its head twice and went inside the wardrobe. To this day I don't know what it was and what it was doing in my home.

MY HALLOWEEN NIGHT

I have always wished that my polish Halloween be named all saints’ day. I have always thought that one that day poles go back in their memories to those gone forever which they do in reverie and the peace of their soul, whereas Americans or other English speaking nations go out dressed as monsters, dancing, playing and mumbling the ‘trick or treat’ kind of stuff and wandering from one door to another.
However we are now like Americans- we do what they do more and more frequently.
And so once upon a time everyone in my ex-class was preparing for a HALLOWEEN. Some disguised themselves as terrible, frightful, bloodcurdling monsters. Others didn’t really have to disguise themselves, looking awful even without it… A cum of mine- a guy named Karol got himself dressed as a lamp- in so doing he donned a stylish lampshade. He wanted to shine among friends but to his disappointment hid bulb got blown. I personally would some bandage around my face to remind everyone of VALDEMAR- you know which one, THE-ONE-WHO-MUNT-NOT-BE-NAMED. Well I looked I tiny bit like a dementor with my ice-cold look. Still I came to be named the revelation of the monster ball a best dressed creature.
Earlier that evening we had scared a woman to death near the cemetery. Another pall of mine approached her dressed as a lunatic asylum inmate waving the sleeves of his strait jacket and shouting at her- trick or treat…madam… trick or treat! The poor old lady got so startled to see him like that, that she might have beaten a world record running a hundred meters with flowers and candles in her hands.
Unfortunately we got sweets in none of the houses we visited- what is more people did not even know what they were supposed to give us- apparently the tradition has not yet caught on in Poland. In one of the houses we got a good whip. In another a man shot his double-barreled shotgun at us. He hit a friend of mine dressed as death- luckily, you can’t kill death, death is supposed to be immortal, but the poor boy hit with a lump of salt in his posterior suffered for a couple of days moaning and groaning in pain. Well in one of the houses we were given a salty stick the only problem begin we had such a fierce fight about who should get it that all that all that was left of it not enough to even feed a sparrow.
However at the ball we made a lovely jaco-o’-lantern. We hallowed a pumpkin, cut out the eyes, nose and mouth in the front of it and we placed a candlelight inside. The effect was stunning- the lantern added much to the great atmosphere of the ball.
In spite of all this fun I personally believe that the atmosphere or reverie and going back in our hearts to the times that we once spent surrounded by our closest people who then left us forever is something much more polish, something I wish we would never lose.

Monika's Halloween Story

One spooky Halloween night, Monika went trick or treating dressed as a ghost, Monika's favorite halloween costume. "Where is Kustra?" Monika wondered unhappily, tired of waiting. "Kustra is late, and I can't go trick or treating alone!"

Just then, a bush near Monika started to move! The leaves trembled and a cry rang out. Monika was frightened but bravely said, "Who's there?" Suddenly, a skeleton jumped from behind the bush! The skeleton shouted, "Boo! Guess who!" Monika knew who it was right away and said, "Kustra, you silly thing. You scared me! Where have you been all this time?"
Laughing, Kustra said, "You're a scaredy cat! Sorry I'm late, but there was a problem with my costume and I couldn't meet you sooner. Let's go trick or treating. There'll be no candy left for us if we wait any longer." "That's okay," Monika said. "Let's get started. I want some Halloween candy tonight!"

Monika suggested they go east first. Several houses looked promising that way, and Monika remembered that the folks in one particular house gave out great candy and were fun to visit. However, just as they started walking, Monika and Kustra heard a scary howling noise. "What's that?" Kustra said, shivering. All of a sudden a black cat ran out from under some bushes very close to their feet. The cat streaked in front of them, running very fast across the lawn. Frightened, Monika and Kustra screamed in terror! Nothing else was in sight, and all was quiet. "It's only a silly old cat," Monika said. "It won't hurt us." Kustra said with a nervous laugh, "I guess we're both scaredy cats!" "I guess we are!" Monika agreed, laughing, too. "But let's get going. We'll never get any Halloween candy unless we knock on some doors tonight."
Their hearts still pounding a little, Monika and Kustra walked along the street. The first house they came to was creepy-looking and very old. It sat back from the street more than the other houses in the neighborhood. A long sidewalk lead up to a front porch that looked like it had seen better days. In the moonlight, the house looked deserted, but lights glowed through the windows. Kustra whispered, "I think I remember somebody telling me that this house is haunted." "No way," Monika said, confidently pushing open the gate. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind rustled the leaves of the willow tree standing nearby and a loud crash came from the porch. Both friends jumped at the noise. "It's just the wind," Monika said a little shakily. Although Monika and Kustra felt a little nervous, they walked slowly through the creaky front gate and up the long sidewalk towards the front door.
The old stairs creaked as they climbed onto the porch. Lying on the floor of the porch they saw a broken flower pot. "That's what made the loud crash we heard," Monika said. "See? There's nothing scary here." "Yeah, right," Kustra said, "Go ahead, Monika. You knock on the door."

Just then Monika and Kustra saw a large, strange shadow behind the wavy glass in the front door. Suddenly, the shadow started moving towards them! Before they could knock or even think, the door flew open! A large zombie stood before them! Monika and Kustra shouted and jumped back with a start! Kustra turned to run away.

"Wait! Happy Halloween ghost and skeleton!" the large zombie said, laughing. "Great costumes! Don't you two want some candy?" Kustra said, "Hey, I remember that voice! I know who you are! You're Zbyszek!"

Zbyszek said, smiling. "That's right, and you're Kustra. Welcome to my house. You and Monika are my first guests tonight. How about some treats?"

A little while later, Monika and Kustra called out "Thanks! Bye, Zbyszek!" as they walked down the sidewalk, their trick or treat bags full of Halloween candy. Kustra said, "Monika, you knew all along that was Zbyszek's house, didn't you!" "Yes, I knew. The trick is on you!" Monika said. "Zbyszek is a friend of my folks and I've been to that house before. You know it isn't safe to trick or treat at a stranger's house, so that's why I suggested going there." "That's right," Kustra said. "It's better to be safe than sorry!"
So, that Halloween night Monika and Kustra had a great time trick or treating. And they followed all the safety rules to make it home safely, too. "I can't wait until next year!" they said together, smiling big smiles. Then Monika and Kustra walked home, happily planning their costumes for next year all the way.

The End

Halloween Story

As I entered the haunted house, the door shut behind me and saw a ghost of old lady. She was thin and ulgy. Her hair was long and wet. She was wearring a grey, long, dirty dress. She hasn't got any eyes. She was screaming. I was scared and I didn't now what should I do. I cudn't walk and talk. The terrible old lady without eyes was camming to me. I felt fever on my neck. I wanted to rum, but I coudn't. A few minutes later she said 'What are you doing at my house without invitation?' I tried to say something, but my noice didn't wont. I opened my mouth and I introducent 'My name is Adelejda. I'm 13 years old and I lost. Could you help, please?' The monster was surprised and said 'But you didn't knock to my door!' I looked at her and my fear when aut. Suddenly I heard that my alarm clock is ringing. I opened my eyes and I saw that my mum mas standing and looking at me. It was only nightmare.

HALLOWEEN STORY

Something in the wardrobe was making a strange noise so I opened the door and I wanted to check what it was. I was convinced to find my kitten there because a few days earlier my family had bought a new cat which was still very terryfied whenever my dog appeared nearby. So I opened the door calling the kitten's name and I stopped dead. Inside there wasn't my cat. There was... It's difficult to find the words to describe the creature I saw. It was neither small nor big. It had a big head with wrinkled cheeks, big shining eyes and greased body. It was showing its teeth with growling sound. I wanted to escape but suddenly it looked at me and I realised that it was more horrified than I was. I took pity on it and I decided to help him or her whatever it was. However, I didn't know if it understood human's language. But I gave it a try and to me surprise it seemed to understand me. It didn't say anything but it nodded its head.
"Did you get lost?", I asked.
One nod.
"Can I help you?", I felt like a shop assistant offering something to buy, although the only thing that i could offer was me.
One nod.
'So what do you expect me to do ?", I was beginning to tremble .
It didn't answer but it made a horrifying roar and rushed towards me.

halloween

As I entered the haunted house, the door shut behind me and I started to laugh because I was in the funfair with my friends. They started laughing with me. We went on. Suddenly I saw a large green monster... It noticed us, roared and started coming close to us. We started laughing again but when the monster was blowing the fire we were scared... We slowly started to go back. We heard quiet skretch behind us. I turned back, I saw a skeleton and I started shouting. My friends turned back too and we started escaping and we entered into a maze. Ewelina saw a big old picture on the wall. Kasia stepped on a hidden button mistakenly.We heard a noice of opening doors. We tern back and we saw a secret hall.
We heard the monster coming and we quickly ran into the hall. As soon as we entered the door slummed behind us and it was absolutely dark. We were so scared that we couldn't say a word. Suddenly a candle went on and it lightened the room. We noticed scary monsters they were weird they had human bodies but their heads were scary. We were awfully frightened and we started screaming. When we heard somebody's laugh but it wasn't scary it was just simple human laugh.
Suddenly all the "monsters" took off their faces because they were just masks. the monstera appeared to be our friends and we all started laughing and we went to eat some candyfloss.

Happy End!!! Diana

15 V 1874
Dear Edward,
I realized myself some important thing lately, but if you mind understand this, we must back in time of several dozen years. We knew each other from primary school, we went on graduation ball together, but when there I told You what I feel to You, You laughed at me. I cried at nights and I was thinking “Why did you reject me?” “Did I deserve for that?”. I wrote for You this song, which contain my reflections.

Ok, ok I don’t pester you to death,

And I won't please you again.

Maybe someday you'll have woke up,

And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:

"Isn't something missing?"

You won't cry for my absence, I know-

You forgot me long ago.

Am I that unimportant...?

Am I so insignificant...?

Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?

Even though I'd be sacrificed,

You won't try for me, not now.

Though I'd die to know you love me,

I'm all alone.

Isn't someone missing me?

Ok, ok I don’t pester you to death,

And I won't please you again.

I know what you do to yourself,

Shudder deep and cry out:

"Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?"

Even though I'd be sacrificed,

You won't try for me, not now.

Though I'd die to know you love me,

I'm all alone.

Isn't someone missing me?

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,

Knowing you don't care.

And if I sleep just to dream of you

And wake without you there,

Isn't something missing?

Isn't something...

Even though I'd be sacrificed,

You won't try for me, not now.

Though I'd die to know you love me,

I'm all alone.
Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?

I hope that you really happy with my sister Sara. I never forget you. Never…

Jane
