Here is another contest and it's not too late. You have until 11:59 tomorrow night!
Here is my entry to the 3rd annual Halloweesie Contest sponsored by Susanna Leonard Hill. The rules of the contest are simple: write a Halloween story in 100 words or less. It can be scary or funny, poetry or prose, but it must be appropriate for children and include the words spooky, black cat, and cackle.
Helga’s Black Cat Search
Helga, the witch, wanted a spooky black cat for Halloween.
She found one in the woods by a dead tree. It had a white
stripe down its back and boy did it stink!
Helga looked some more and found a gray cat with a black
mask, but it kept stealing her frog’s warts and eye of newts.
Helga looked and looked and found a spooky black cat that
arched its back and hissed and spat at her. It was so scary she cackled, “I’ll
take all three!.”

Helga either needs some cat identification lessons, or some new glasses! Her choices would definitely scare people away, though -- especially that stinky one! Fun story!
I enjoyed Helga's fun search. Loved the skunk/cat!
I liked the skunk-cat too! :0)
very funny ! :)
Please give the witch some spectacles....lol. I found this amusing. Thanks for sharing. Cute story!!
Hahaha! This was funny...I especially liked the skunk cat - now THAT is scary :)
Like a kid in a candy store! I love that she took all three.
Those are some cats! Funny story.
Oh my goodness, Sheila! Very original and creative, and very funny! What a crew of cats! I'm so glad you entered the contest - I really enjoyed your story! Thanks for joining in the Halloweensie fun :)
A stinky cat, just right for halloween.
Love the skunk, too! Cute!
Thank you all for the kind comments. It really is encouraging.
I think Helga might be getting more than she bargained for! ;-)
Haha! I like open minded witches!
helge is a witch after my heart!
Great twists and turns. I love the way you say so much without actually "spelling" everything out. Great technique.
Hello Sheila...nice to connect with you! I love the story...so creative with the cat alternatives. :)
Ha! Good fun with a skunk, a raccoon and a cat. This could be a picture book. With another 200 words to play with, your witch could break her glasses and the non-cats could cause some chaos!
Love it and you should listen to the other comments... expand this and make it into a picture book
really, not kidding my friend
I love this.. very clever!
