It’s the night of October 31, Halloween night. The uncanny feeling of the night gives chills to my tender body. I feel scared but excited at the same time. How can one feel two things at once you ask? Simple, the scary creatures that are roaming around at night frighten the hell out of me, and I am excited to go to a Halloween party. I have been looking forward to this weekend all year!
Getting ready that night brought so much thrill that I went a little overboard. I couldn’t help being extra creative with the glitter, blood, and Halloween masks. I even went all out with my house and decorated the outside with lights, spider webs and even spooky music. As I made my way to this Halloween party I couldn’t wait to see how they designed it. I looked extraordinary in my vampire queen costume.
As I enter into the house for the Halloween party, I hear the spine chilling music in the hallway leading to the entrance. I take a nice look around the room. My eyes glance upon a statue of Dracula to my left, as I make my way across the room, counterclockwise. Next, I smell the cookies, which are right next to Dracula on a set table. I walk over to the cookie stand and eagerly grab four. I spot my friend named Alexandra and I couldn’t help but touch her alligator suit. It felt so rough and real that it amazed me.
Next to my friend, I see a Halloween cake. It looks so beautiful with the orange and black colors and immense at size! I have to take a taste of the icing. It feels soft on my tongue and melts right in my mouth. I take in the sweet taste of the icing and as I open my eyes I see the DJ and the dance floor. I think to myself, “man, this party is grand”.
As my eyes wander, lingering its way back to the Dracula statue, the host comes right up behind me and pokes me. “AHHHHHH! I screamed.” Wow, it's my worst nightmare, a character called “the ring girl”. I blankly stare at the unidentified person behind the outrageously terrifying costume. The long black hair going down to the floor, the cold hands, the color of blue and that gruesome face that takes your soul away. I soon notice the unidentified “ring girl” is a man. He offers me lemonade and I politely take it. I blink, smile, and the next thing you know I scurry off to the bathroom.
With my heart beating, sweat dripping, and brain pounding, I feel like I’m going crazy. I take a deep breath and forget all that happened in order for me to enjoy the rest of my night. “Of course it’s not real”, I thought to myself. I marched right back to the dance floor and boogied down. I couldn’t believe I got so caught up in what was happening that I missed out on all the costumes. Glancing around I saw witches, dwarves, wizards, black cats and a pirate costume, which caught my eye. The way the sword fits in the brown belt pocket and the size astonished me. I run over to greet the man in the pirate costume his name is William and he asks me to dance. I feel so secure in his arms as we swiftly dance across the floor. The music matching every step we make and the lights flickering at all the right times.
What a great night, I haven’t been to a party so detailed in years. The moon is full and radiant, and everyone is having fun. I wish everyday could bring joy and festive fun like today. I walk out towards the balcony, feeling the crisp windy air, as I stare right at the moon. The music starts to slow down as the party is coming to an end. I smile and turn around to feel my hair blow me in the direction of the party. “What an extraordinary evening, I tell the host”. He takes me to the wooden door where the music is softly playing the Halloween melodies. I walk into the night, back to my car, and drive peacefully home.
