Boo! Each year for Halloween, our studio becomes Creative Fright-it! as we work on spooky prompts. This year we worked on two-sentence horror stories; a deceptively simple structure that challenges you to set up seemingly-normal scenarios then twist your reader’s expectation with a spooky second sentence. Our young authors were frightfully good at choosing their words to conjure up eerie atmospheres and chilling conclusions. Here are some of the highlights from this year!

But it’s the only way I can keep her around. ![]() The note says, “I hate you, I’ve run away.” It took five tries but the handwriting finally looks like hers. Kaitlyn - Year 7“Ah, so it’s 2020,” the time traveller said. He pointed to your house, a thoughtful expression on his face, “Wasn’t that when carcasses were found in this building, horrifyingly mutilated?” A little girl pointed at the television and declared excitedly, “Daddy, look, I’m on TV!” A moment later, she asked, “What does ‘kidnapped two years ago’ mean?” Bianca - Year 2Zhilong - Year 4My computer turns on. This is the end. Somebody touched my back. I looked behind me. Emily - Year 3Rita - Year 3 “Ben, is that you poking my leg?” “No.” “I know you are there Amelia! Come to mama! Evan - Year 3Aarush - Year 3As the clock struck 12, I leapt for the doorway, but he appeared. I stumbled and landed on my back Mia - Year 6
