Happy Halloween!!!! It's one my favorite times of year! Pumpkin Spice, cooler weather, colorful leaves, and.... Susanna Hill's Halloweensie contest!!!! Of course, she has found my Kryptonite, WORDS. My Halloweensie story transformed into a Hallow-whopper of a tale! But eventually, I pared down until it reached the required 100 word limit. So without further ado... Just in Time: A Familiar For Halloween Finding a familiar was no treat for Wylie Witch. A spider? Fuzzy legs tickled till she snorted. “No thanks!” A cat? “Ah-ah-nooooO!” She sneezed. “A goat?” The creature gobbled her potions. He turned pickle green, sprouted wings, and started chewing. “No nibbling my noggin!” He chomped. Wylie ran... into the zoo... t u m b l i n g into the flamingo enclosure. SQUAWK!!!!! A pink hero raced to her rescue. Wylie hopped onto his back and whipped out her wand. “Picklepoppio!” Magic flashed. Down drifted the fuzzy fella. Wylie hugged her brave birdie. “No cobwebs or sneezing? And you fly? You’ll do just the trick, Fred!”
