Karen Scout Bowen 3rd Hour English Spoopy Spoofy Story I remembered growing up in my little house, in fact, I remember lots of things about my house.

The little imperfections of paint chippings on the wall that the sunshine would catch as the it glowed through the windows. I hated that house. That house was the reason…

It began as a day like any other. It was a beautiful Saturday; I had spent the entire day cleaning and preparing the yard for visitors. Today was the day that the universally renowned Ixchel was to accompany my friends and I for dinner. I had spent the remainder of my day that wasn’t consumed by either cleaning or yard work preparing a fantastic meal. I served a pork tenderloin covered in a dijon apple glaze, I still remember seeing the steam escaping from the meat and the expressions of ecstasy…

Winter Foggy was in high spirits. Had been since December started and grew even more ecstatic as the days rolled by and the holidays drew nearer. He never did outgrow his love for Christmas. There was just something about it that he could not get enough of even as an adult. The carolers, the fairy lights, the sugar cookies and just the general scent of it. Peppermint and pine and hot chocolate. He had taken to decorating the law office. A small potted Christmas tree at the corner with dainty…
