Hurray! It is Saturday. Know what that means? It means the kids are home to drive me insane, but that is not what I am referring to. I am talking Centus time! Saturday Centus is a themed writing meme in which you are given a new prompt each week. You can use UP to 100 words to tell your story. The prompt does not count for your 100 words AND it must be left intact in the body of your story.
I love Halloween and so I am so far enjoying the prompts of October! Below is my entry for the week. Prompt is in color.
I’d turned out all the lights and sat huddled down beside the couch, desperate to stay below line of sight. They were coming and I knew it. Those horrible hobgoblins were going to arrive at any moment. I couldn’t face them. I wasn’t ready. They would come and they would take and take and take, showing no mercy.
The doorbell rang. There is no way I am going to answer that door.
A muffled, “Trick or treat,” came through. Only kids!
"Trick or treat!" they shouted as the door opened...
No! They had indeed tricked me! It was them, the hobgoblins. Evil bill collectors!
