The Halloween Party “Ending!”
[In October of 2010 R.L. Stine had a contest where he wrote the beginning of a short story and it was your job to finish it by writing your own ending! If you won I believe you received signed copies of his books and your story was read by R.L. Stine himself. Of course I didn’t win! But here is my ending, and yes I thought the winner had a decent ending but I liked mine more.]

Here is my entry for the ending to the R.L. Stine contest.
Andy looked around the room, then the lights went out and it was completely dark. Stacy screamed. Loud grunts and clawing along the slick walls was heard. Andy nervously reached inside his “trick-or-treat” bag and removed his glow stick. The room suddenly light up in lime green. Everybody hissed and turned their faces, hiding from the oozing glow of green slime. Andy held it up high and waved it out in front of his face. Stacy clenched him by his right arm holding him tightly. The monsters cried out, the light was blinding them. Melting their flesh and skin, all at once they began caving to the floor, melting like witches.
Then the glow stick went out. Andy shook it in panic, but it was dead. Then they both looked up and saw one hairy creature still alive and it was coming for them. Andy called out, “What now Stacy? I don’t have anything else.”
”Wait,” she said. Then she reached inside her bag and pulled out her zombie “glow-in-the-dark” lipstick and held it out. The creature turned, “Arhhhh” it screeched loudly. Then it slowly began melting. “It’s working!” said Andy.
“Arh.” it cried one final breath.
The room was a creepy mess of slime and ooze. But Andy and Stacy were alive and ready to go home. “What about the other party? I heard it has real live goblins.” They both grinned at one another as they walked away.
