Wrong Way Round Hall: A 15-Minute Horror Story, Educational Version

By Caitlind L. Alexander

When we got to the end of the street, we tried to think of where to go trick or treating next.
“I think we should go to Cedar Street,” Carrie said.
“Why Cedar Street?” I asked. “Those are small houses, not rich ones.”
“Yeah,” Carrie answered. “But they are close together. We can hit more houses in less time.”
I had to admit she had a point.
“OK,” I agreed with her.
Suddenly I saw a lane branching off from the end of the turn-around.
“What’s that?” I asked.
Carrie stared at it in the darkness. The lane quickly disappeared into a mass of trees.
“There’s a sign,” she said.
“And there’s a light on the sign,” I added. “And a pumpkin decoration beneath it!”
We hurried forward.
“Wrong Way Round Hall,” she read.

Find out what happens to these two brave trick or treaters in this creepy tale of horror.
