Skeleton Drive: A Short Story

Improved Essays
It was halloween night, and I was on my phone with nothing to do, but gloomily looked at the news . I could go trick or treating, but that’s for little kids, and have you heard the news about people putting things in the candy? I wanted nothing of that. Besides I don’t like candy that much. Then my best friend Maria was calling me on my phone. I picked up my phone and answered the call.
“Hey have you been in the haunted house on Skeleton Drive, the ending was the best part” Maria said.
I told her haunted house aren’t scary at all, but I had nothing else to do that day so I agreed to go and my parents are out on a date or something.
I headed down Skeleton Street where Maria said the house was. The house looked torn down with windows broken

To illustrate, even though I thought most of the things we discussed in class like linguistics and archaeology were interesting, I consider learning about ethnology the most memorable and fascinating concept for me. To illustrate,…

I think I produced the best picture I could have painted for this story.…
