The 10th Annual halloweensie contest

Every year there are a plethora of wonderful contests for writers to participate in. The 10th Annual Halloweensie contest was yet another great one to write for. This contest gave writers three words that must be used in their entry with a limit of 100 words. As always, it was fun and spurred on the creativity of many writers! Mine is below. Check out the website to see what other entries were posted, they were wonderful!

Polly’s Not-So-Perfect Potion
By: Susan Summers 
WC: 100


Out thumped the potions book. 
“This year, no witch for me.”
Polly’s cauldron waited by the fire as ingredients were collected.

“A skeleton, to shape the costume. No creepy mask for me. A caramel, for sweetness.
A feather, for a light personality, and licorice for flavor.”
She dropped each ingredient into the pot and stirred while whispering the spell.

Then, she drank it.
Polly raced to the mirror. 

“What?! Fur! Did you put an ingredient in?” She glared at the cat.
“Perhaps.”
“I wanted to be a princess not a quokka!” 
“They’re adorable. You’ll get lots of candy. You’re welcome.”
