Ben's story was about a boy who unknowingly is captured and trapped in an eerie cellar, with only a few miscellaneous items including a teddy bear whose eyes appear to be cameras indicating that the someone who abducted him is still watching.
Natalie's story is still in the works and involves a girl who in the midst of trying to deal with everyday teen life and stress, such as studying for a test at school, also has a life and death situation in the back of her mind. A mysterious plague has struck her small town and she tries not to panic when she begins to notice some mild symptoms of a cold.
Tori wrote about a lonely girl who lives an ordinary mundane life with her busy parents. They have only been living in their new house for about five years, but after a restless night, the girl awakens to find that they may not be the only inhabitants of their home. (I won't spoil the end, there is a surprise you will not want to miss!)
I very much enjoyed each of these stories, and how they all incorporated suspense and mystery.
Halloween has always been my all time favorite holiday, and I am so sad that it only lasts one day a year and then is forgotten about, unlike Christmas which lasts a whole season. I love dressing up and being with my friends, munching on sweet snacks and getting mildly scared. Tonight, I am dressing up as Cat woman and I adore my costume because it is very comfortable and will keep me warm in the chilling October air! I have two parties to attend and then, despite my age, I am most definitely going trick or treating! It is a timeless tradition that I will continue to participate in as long as I can get away with it!
Hope everyone has a safe, adventurous night!

Thank you for your close reading of your classmates' stories and for offering them meaningful feedback. I hope you had fun at your parties and that you got a great haul trick-or-treating!
