Freakshow Club

She excitedly entered the house;
dry leaves and grass were fiddling
against each other in the night wind,
from behind her.

As she walked in the house,
the wooden floor warped gently,
with the sounds of a soft door knock.

The people, animals and objects in portraits
looked as though they were moving,
as she climbed the stairs. Shadows danced
all around her.

All these experiences were so exciting,
that she almost screamed with excitement.

"This is my best Halloween ever!" she whispered.

To become a member of Freakshow Club,
a newbie was expected to be brave
when entering a house or woods the elite members
chose.

They told her to enter House 254 in Elmostreet,
but she chose House 254 in Elmstreet!
