The Haunted Library

One scary, spooky Halloween I went trick or treating by a haunted house or what kids call a haunted house.

It looked like a normal library but I could be wrong. I knocked on the door…. And nothing happened so I went inside and saw nothing but books and a sign that said, "BUZZ OFF".

Oh well! I thought what does a sign mean so I opened up a book …. And the next thing I knew is that something popped out of the book.

Shivering and shaking I fell to the ground. "What was that!" and that very moment I saw him!!! Frankenstein! AAAAH. I started to run when he picked me up! I could not speak a sound because my mouth was zipped tight. Not only was my mouth zipped but so was my brain.

He took me into his secret lab. When he was going to chop my head off, I yelled "WAIT!!". He froze like molasses in January and his bolts almost popped out of his neck because he had never heard a kid scream. There was Frank, "cry, cry" he said as he gave me a big queasy hug. "Sorry", he said.

"It’s OK" I cackled. From then on he is now the librarian.
