100 Word Challenge Week 19

Haunted house

Walking into the so called "haunted house", Sierra gripped my hand tightly. 

"Sierra!" I hissed, "it's not haunted."

"I know it's just..." She couldn't finish her sentence partly because I was about to cut her off, but also because she screamed claiming she saw a ghost.

"Come on Sierra," I breathed, getting just a little bit scared. 

We walked into the kitchen as the flame flickered and then went out on the stove. We walked over and pulled open the oven. Only to find a cake that read, "You made it out of play lands haunted house!"

The Storm

Lauren, Sierra, and I swam from for hours in Sierra's pool. Once we were done we put on our matching orange onzie pyjamas and went into the basement to watch a movie, but silence washed over us as lightening lit up the sky and thunder shook our bodies with fear. We huddled in the couch as the lights flickered. Then flickered again. Then it all went black. Creeeeek. The door opened and we all squished closer and tighter together. 
Suddenly, "Aggghh!" We all screamed as the person got closer and the lights turned on, "Tim!"
"Oh sorry, did I scare you?" Tim smiled mischievously.

                                        I believe in fairies

"There's this stairway," he began, "A beautiful stairway. That led to prison."

"Prison?" I questioned.

"Yep, prison." He continued, "For fairies!"

"Grandpa," I whined, " I'm not five, I don't believe in fairies!"

"You might not believe in them, but they're always there." He said mysteriously.

                                                               .              .               .

That was a conversation I had ten years ago. Now I'm standing at the top of the beautiful stairway. At the door way to to fairy prison, guarding all of the fairy prisoners. Tricking all of the fairies into thinking that this prison will be okay. Also giving them their last breathe of fresh air. Although some of the fairies don't make it to the top...

Campfire

"First campfire of the season!" I excitedly told Sierra and Lauren.

"I can almost smell the roasting marshmallows!" Sierra exclaimed.

"Now we just have to wait until the first star comes out." Lauren stated.

         A couple of hours later it was getting dark until suddenly a star popped out of nowhere, then another. Pretty soon the whole night was lit up by twinkling stars. 

We all stuffed our mouths with marshmallows and told scary stories until our stomachs ached and the night was at its end. Then we snuggled into our sleeping bags and dozed off at some point. 

I was glad I got to spend my fist fire with them.

The Photos

    I took a bunch of pictures on the cruise and couldn't wait to browse through them, but as I was flipping through them I noticed something odd. There was a huge group of garbage cans that were in every one of my photos. Though they weren't there when I took the picture. I was so confused flipping through the same photos over and over.
"This doesn't make sense!" I stuttered to myself.
So I went to the only place I could trust, the internet. I searched up cases of ghost garbage cans, and apparently when garbage cans show up in your photos it means they're here to haunt you for not recycling! Ever since that day I've become a better recycler.

Raffle

"Last day to buy raffle tickets folks!" Elly called out.
"I'll be drawing a ticket at 5:00 tonight!" My voice echoed. 

A few others bought raffle tickets before the clock showed 4:57. 
"Lets clean up and get ready to draw a card." I suggested.
 With that we were cleaned and ready, 4:59...5:00!
"Can I draw it now?" I squealed, "I can't wait to see who wins the beach basket!"
Elly nodded in acknowledgement. I put my hand in the box and felt around. Then pulled out the lucky ticket.
"1593!" I announced.
A woman rose, her hand in the air, to claim her prize.

The Car Ride
 
 
"This is the longest car ride ever!" Robby wailed. "Why'd I have to drink that medium slurpee!"
"I told you to just get a small," I snickered.
 
Around a half an hour later the car was filled with this horrid smell.
"Ugh," my mom exclaimed, "what's that horrific smell?"
Just then my mom noticed a spot on my brothers pants. At first she thought it was just water but the spot just grew and grew...
"Uh-oh..." Robby stammered. "I don't have to go to the bathroom anymore."
"You should've gone to the bathroom at the gas station." I mumbled to myself just loud enough for Robby to hear.
