new halloween

There was a long waiting line of people waiting impatiently wanting to enter the spooky haunted house. It was pitch black with the occasional flashing bright lights that would shine on a different group of people each time. A group of high school girls were holding each other’s hands for dear life because a man in a bloody dead person’s costume crept up behind them. Their screams blended in with the ongoing chain saws and the suspicious music being played in the background. There were continuously pretend bugs thrown at the crowd or workers dressed up as ghosts that would lightly brush your shoulder, but since everyone was so tense their screams would become piercing. Their eyes became fogged up from all the smoke machines. It was even hard to see where the drawn faced vivid orange pumpkins were that were lining the path. One girl out of the group stood out, she was the tallest dangling one however she was the leader of them. It was easy to see, the rest of the girls were very cautious and would barely move an itch. Standing by the opening of the haunted house was a worker wearing scary, bold make up who would sneak people in without giving the rest of the crowd a peek As more people went into the haunted house, it created more suspense for the girls that were getting closer and closer. Each girl had a similar facial expression a frown, a nervous look or a girl that was completely covering her face. Time was running out and only a group of people were left in front. Together as one they combined hands and figured one would follow the other. They reached the curtain to the opening of what was secretly the girl’s worst nightmare. As they squeezed each other’s hands tighter and all jerked aimlessly around.
A worker lady ordered, “It’s a policy of ours to go into the haunted house in pairs instead of all of you in a line!” The girls hesitantly did what they were asked. The moment she
Pulled the curtain slightly opened they tip toed into it. Do you remember their faces before entering? Their faces after for sure gave away what they felt about their time through the haunted house!
