A MONSTER ATE MY CANDY CORN
Thump, thump, crash!
In the shadow of the moonlight, a monster appears in my kitchen.
It’s eating my Halloween candy corn!
I whistle for my dog; he’ll scare the monster away. I must save my candy!
“Bark, Hercules!” I command, but Hercules only tilts his head.
“Get out of my house!” I yell, running toward the hallway.
Uh oh, the monster is following me!
Then it stops, and pulls at its ears.
Suddenly, out pops a different head. It’s my … brother?
Okay, so there’s no such thing as monsters after all.
Still, from now on, I’m hiding my Halloween candy.

Nice surprise ending! And yes, I’d hide my candy from that voracious brother, too. Good luck in the contest!
Brothers everywhere-LOL Funny and clever 🙂 Good luck!
Siblings are good for stealing each others candy. =) Good luck!
Cool! Great minds think alike with thinking monsters are in the kitchen…lol.
So cute. I enjoyed this.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! (apologies for the late reply)
But brothers CAN be monsters! I’m glad the MC finally got smart. Good luck!
Sibling problems are universal, April. Well done!!!
Oh those pesky brothers. Nice job.
You’ve got to watch out for those monsterly brothers on Halloween. Good luck with the contest!
Smart kid – be prepared and guard the candy at all cost. Love it
Cute!
best of luck 🙂
Like the presto-change-o of the brother. Nice twist.
Thank you! So glad you liked it!
I could totally see my sons doing this to each other!
Those brothers! Can’t trust em! 😉
Bad brother! I used to hide my candy from my sister–and my parents, for that matter–so this story hit close to home. (There were lots of “monsters” at my house around Halloween!) Love that Hercules only tilts his head. Too funny.
Hiding one’s Halloween candy is ALWAYS wise! Lesson learned!
I don’t know, April! Some people would say monsters and brothers are the same thing! 🙂 Thanks for a fun, well-written entry and for joining in on Halloweensie!
