THE DANCING SPELL

By Brianna Rose Lengel (95 words) Key words: Wing, Coo, Fog.

Hazel’s winged familiar cooed as the spell enveloped the sluggish town like fog, enchanting every piece of Halloween candy. Suddenly, the candy started… dancing.

Whoever ate the dancing candy felt an insatiable urge to dance.

Kids in costumes filled the streets.

Siblings weren’t fighting anymore—they were dancing!

People in wheelchairs weren’t wheeling anymore—they were dancing!

The spell had worked! Everyone was dancing!

But when Hazel tried to reverse the spell at bedtime, no one could stop.

One by one, they danced to their graves.

And even after death, their spirits kept on dancing!
