A Halloween trick…… by ntsioannasag

It was Halloween day!!All the children in my neighborhood were dressed in scary costumes and were walking around, saying “Trick or treat?”, while at the same time they were trying to collect as much sweets and candies as they could. Nothing was out of the ordinary……The night spended in a quite fun way and so everybody after have celebrated the Halloween night, went to sleep. It was midnight, when suddenly the bell of our house rang. All the members of my family got awake. We were quite curious and afraid of who was at the door, so we all together went to open the door, in a coward way. Finally we opened the door and we surprisingly saw a woman lying in front of the door of our house. She had blood in every part of her body and she was dressed in black. The moment that we saw her, we started screaming and shouting. We didn’t know what to do. The woman seemed to be dead and this really frightened us very much.As you couldn’t do something else, we called the police. Fortunately, the police arrived very quickly. They assured us that the woman was dead, but no one knew why this poor lady was dead. After this event finished, we went inside our house and all together we sat in our living room.We had quite calmed down after this shock and so, we decided to go to sleep, when suddenly we heard somebody knocking the door. We were really praying not to happen something bad. We opened the door and imagine what we saw!…… The woman who was considered to be dead, the policemen and all our neighbours, were all laughing by the trick that they had made us. This time we felt quite angry with them, but within some minutes, we all together started laughing. This was the best and also the most scary Halloween day ever!!!!
