This is a Halloween story, but I'm posting it anyway!
"Trick or treat!" What a stupid phrase. Oh, I'll give you a trick, all right! thought Ms. DeStein. So, she set up the children traps. This would be, well, to die for. Oh, how clever I am! thought Ms. DeStein. The first kid came, and she watched her come like a spider watches a fly. Click! She pressed the button, and tarantulas rained down on her. Look at that vampire run! Oh, what a genius I am! thought Ms. DeStein. The second kid, dressed like a pirate made it a the way to the first porch step before- SWOOSH! A ghost swooped, and as the little boy ran away, he heard cackling from inside the house. Oh, how tricky I am! thought Ms. DeStein. The third kid was a brave werewolf. He didn't scream when he saw the blood dripping down the stairs. He didn't run away when he saw the knife wielding clown. But he did scream bloody murder when the hand from the ground grabbed his ankle, and he was out of there before you could say candy corn. Oh, how wicked I am! thought Ms. DeStein. When the fourth kid came, she was really enjoying herself. What could she pull on this strange fairy child? She tried zombies. She tried werewolves, and vampires, and witchy spells, but the girl kept coming. She dropped down pumpkin guts on her, and spiderwebs, and fake blood, buy to no avail. She must really want my candy! thought Ms. DeStein. Ding dong! went the doorbell. "Trick or treat!"
