A Ghost Story

Hannah came home from school yesterday telling me that her friend had told her a scary story about a ghost on the bus ride home. Later in the afternoon, she sat down to write her own ghost story (I think a small part of this comes from her friend's story).

She asked me to please type it up here. (Sorry if you're getting tired of Hannah's stories!) She also drew pictures to illustrate her story, which won't be included here.

So, here is the story (with the spelling corrected and some punctuation added). :-)

The Howling Ghost
Written by Hannah and Illustrated by Hannah

Once there was a little girl named Sally and it was the middle of the night so she was sleeping when she heard a howling sound. It sounded like a ghost!

It was a ghost. Sally was so scared that she screamed! Then the ghost chased Sally all over her room. Sally was so scared that she did not call her mom or dad. Then finally the ghost went out the window and was gone.

In the morning Sally found blood on her covers! Then the next night the ghost came back all in blood!

The little girl had had enough of this silliness so she threw water at him and he turned into a cute bunny so Sally had a pet.

The End

I love her ending! (I think the blood-covered ghost is what she got from her friend's story.) She definitely enjoys creative writing much more than McKay ever has.
