Halloween
MEDUSA
Medusa entered Athena's Temple and,
sure enough, there was Poseidon
Greek Sea God. " Oh Poseidon I knew
you would be here " Medusa cried,
throwing herself into Poseidon's arms. "
Why wouldn't I ? " " I don't know "
Medusa sighed.
As they prepared to leave the busy
scene of the Summer Solstice market,
Athena looked on as Medusa checked
herself over in a hand mirror. " That vain
no good is at it again " Athena sighed "
I think it's time to teach Medusa a
lesson. "
And so she did, for at that moment
Medusa's reflection faded into
Athena's. Athena said to Medusa, "
Look at yourself now, you have snakes
for hair and your looks will turn men to
stone. " Medusa rubbed her eyes and
she saw a creature, hideously scary,
ugly, with snakes for hair. Finally she
realised that the creature was herself.
" Don't look at me!! " she shrieked at a
flabbergasted Poseidon, just before
she was swept away to a distant
cave.
In the cave she spent her days
moping over her lost beauty and
counting the days until the Halloween
Ball. Don't think that she was totally
abandoned, her son Pegasus waited
on her faithfully day and night.
Two days before the Halloween Ball
she cried " Peggy dear do get me a
dress and a mask for the Ball! " Little
did Pegasus know what his mothers
plan for the 31 of October was.
Medusa had planed the most horrible
come-back imaginable.
Medusa arrived at the Ball late and
the place was already crowded with
mortals and immortals. The place and
a truly spooky feel for Hades himself
was the head designer.
Everybody looked up as the strange
yet familiar masked body walked in.
All, that is except Poseidon.
He ran up to her and announcing her
to the crowd as Goddess of Beauty,
Medusa. However Medusa payed no
attention to him and cried, " Athena,
give me back my beauty!! " There
was an unearthly silence before
Athena replied cooly " I think not, I'm
afraid. " " Fine, for many men will
become stone now! " and with that
Medusa tore off her mask tuning half
the room to stone. Suddenly an
unknown warrior appeared and with
a " POW!! " of went Medusa's head.
Everyone applauded ridding the hall
of the ghastly silence. However he
had not remembered Poseidon who
suddenly roared " You've killed her. "
The warrior turned and with one blow
knocked Poseidon unconscious. He
then returned to the cheerful room
and gave Medusa's head to Athena.
Athena placed the head on her
breastplate, where it would remain
for eternity!
All About Gitchy
Hi, I'm Gitchy, and I am a mummy. I'm not a
woman, and I don't have any children, but I
am still a mummy. Why the confused looks?
Let me explain. I am 5,712 years old I used to
be a Pharaoh, and now I am proud to say that
I am that I am one of the highest mummies in
the Mummy Society. Understand now?
Thought so. One thing that you humans don't
know is how us mummies get out of our
coffins. We'll that is a secret, you cannot find
out. If you ever see a picture if me, please, please
ignore it, because for some reason, I never
look good I'm them! I try my best to look nice
and happy like the mummy I am, but I always
look like I was up all night partying and never
got any sleep at all!! I'm not exactly sure how I
have pictures of myself, or how anybody else
gets them of me, because my memory of the
last two minutes goes and I am just left with a
horrific picture of myself.
My favourite hobby is practising scaring
people for my favourite day of the year,
Halloween!! If I get bored, sometimes I think
about when I scare people, and then I feel
bad, embarrassed and sad about it. So I am
sorry if you are one of those people this year,
because I do a pretty good scare. The only
part of my scare that I will tell you is that both
of my eyes start bleeding. So don't go to bed
thinking that I'm out to get you, it's only my
idea of great fun!! Just watch out for a
Frankenstein and a mummy together,
because you might be near the end if you look
into either of their eyes. No, I'm only joking
with you!! Haha! I really had you scared there!
I don't know about any of my family at all, but I
think that it is better that way, because if any
of my relatives died, of course I would cry, and
if any mummy cries, they'd get this absolute
lawful burning sensation In their eyes and
nothing comes out of them. This is also the
reason that mummies decide not to become
friends. Can I trust you to tell you something?
Please don't tell any other mummies though.
Always cry, I know that it hurts badly, but I just
can't help it. It's because all of the other
mummies always bully me, and tell me that
I'm not good enough to scare. People. Ahhh, it
feels good to tell somebody. But now, please
go, my eyes are going to burn, just thinking
about the bullies. I'll see you on Halloween!
Bye!
Killer Steve by John-Allym
I was on my way to go tricker-treating when I
heard a scream coming from the church ruin
in The
Graveyard next to my house. I was very
suspicious, so I said I would take a closer
look. When I entered The Graveyard I could see nothing,
hear nothing or think nothing. It was as if my
mind went blank and I passed out. I was right, I had
fell over a branch and hit my head off a
headstone.
My head was sore, blood was pouring down
my left temple.
As I was beginning to get up, I
could see a King rise up from his
tomb. It was King Steve III,
who had died in battle between
Scotland and France in 1633, in
Paris, France. But I said to myself, '' Why would a King wear
a Grim Reaper costume ? ''. I was
very puzzled. When the King had left the tomb an army of
Ghosts followed him. It was very
peculiar that Ghosts followed King Steve III of
Scotland.
Now, I was only about a hundred metres
from the church ruin, When I heard that
scream again.
Now this was weird two screams in the
space of a half an hour. When I walked
up to the door a cold shiver ran down
my spine. I turned the handle, stepped
in and I only saw pitch blackness, except the light of the moon.
I walked outside again and saw
there was light coming from an
upstairs room. As I went back inside
I found a spiral staircase leading up
to the room. When I was at the door
I opened it gently so I wouldn't attract attention to
myself. I looked in and saw it was
only bigger kids in costumes
that I saw earlier at the tomb, It was
only the priest screaming. This was
the worst Halloween because I got
no sweets.
