Luna, The True Hallowe’en Mascot
Super-sticky,
skilled-weaver,
silk-spinning Luna
shoots her web
covering jack-o-lantern’s eye
like a patch.
“Arrgh!” she quips.
“Nothing rivals a spider’s skills.”
Next stop?
Skeletons yard display.
“Useless heap of bones!
Spiders are THE Hallowe’en mascot,”
Luna complains.
She avoids the cobwebs.
“Imitation.”
Stegosaurus,
pickle,
masked pirate,
spider girl.
All waving hand sparklers.
“Nonsense. Creepy little humans.”
Sizzling.
Snapping.
Crackling.
Dazzling lights.
Luna’s web glitters like
golden candy wrappers.
Vibrations.
“Aha!” She swings to her prey.
“Welcome, my pretties.”
Finding — only candy corn.
“Ghastly.”
“This night haunts me forever,”
Luna says, rolling all her eyes.
99 words.
Thank you for reading!
Good luck to all the contestants and stay safe.

I love Luna’s spunk. And the eyes roll at the end. Good luck!
Thanks so much Nancy! I’m glad you liked Luna! 🙂
Poor Luna. I think she needs to take up residence in the back yard, LOL. Fun story! Good luck!
Ha ha!! Thank you Jilanne! Appreciate it 🙂
I love her superior attitude (the cobwebs comment cracked me up!) and absolutely FEEL Luna’s disappointment with the candy corn! Great work.
Thanks so much!! 🙂 The love/hate for candy corn is real 🙂 Appreciate you stopping by 🙂
Sounds like the true Halloween mascot to me!
Perfect!! Thanks so much for reading Chel!
Great story told from the spider’s point of view!
Thank you so much 🙂
