It started off as any normal Halloween night, I was out trick or treating with my brother Brandon and my best friend Jo. This year it was our turn to take the baby trick or treating. Her name is Elizabeth but everybody calls her Izzy. So before we started, we stopped by my Aunts' house to get Izzy. I hate going to her house because it's so creepy. Outside of her house, she has this little bunny statue that she thinks is the cutest thing in the world ,but it's not. It looks like someone hit it with a bat and then ran it over with a motorcycle and buried it, then dug it back up and tried to call it cute. The inside is a petite ugly little hushed house with a old mildew smell. Somehow we made it out alive with no harm done (except a little shortness of breath). After we got Izzy we went down to my house to get ready of trick or treat. …show more content…
Jo is a haunted dill pickle. Brandon is a 1970's gangster. Izzy is an ugly duckling. Izzy hates Halloween because she is scared of everyone and everything. I told her to get over. She listened.

Before long we went though the whole neighborhood. I looked down and my heart sank! Then I screamed "WHERE'S IZZY!!!!!" I must be dreaming because when I looked down I didn't see Izzy in the stroller all I saw was her Minnie Mouse blanket and her ugly duckling costume. I must have pinched myself about a dozen times trying to get Izzy to come back. Jo was trying to get me to calm down.

Jo said" All we have to do is recheck all of the houses we already trick or treated at.

Who doesn’t like the occasional pseudo-intellectual high? Then you’ll go home, maybe throw down a brat for dinner. Who doesn’t like brats? Then it’ll hit you...Do they hate our brats too?
