 | My friend Andy and I are on a mission, we're flying to earth on a Halloween expedition.We've heard some stories so we just had to see what all the fuss has got to be. We've never had anything like this on Mars or on any of the planets up here with the stars.I'm a little bit nervous about what we will find, you never know what goes on down there with mankind. |
 | I've heard tales of goblins, witches and ghosts, but those blood sucking vampires scare me the most.They say that in graveyards if you see an open tomb, you better run fast before you meet with your doom. Why would earthlings celebrate such a day? If it gets to be scary I don't think we'll stay.We're getting ready to land now, I hope no one's near. My friend's all excited but all I feel is fear. |
 | We just touched down in a very dark place, Andy started laughing at the scared look on my face.He opened the doors and jumped to the ground, everything was quiet, we didn't hear a sound. |
 | We covered our space ship with branches and leaves, then ran through the darkness like two guilty thieves.I was running so fast I couldn't see a thing, the branches hitting my face gave me quite a sting. I called out to Andy, but he was no where to be found. I was scared and alone and could feel my heart pound.What should I do now, where do I go? If Andy were with me, he sure would know. |
 | I see lights up ahead! Maybe he's there. But it's what else I'll find that's something to fear.What is this night called Halloween with more goblins than I've ever seen.With witches and ghosts flying through the air trying to give me a terrible scare. |
 | Who are these little monsters with bags all dressed up in costumes and rags?Why are they knocking on everyone's door, and checking their bags to see who has more? Why does the sky look dark and scary and the clouds passing the moon look so eerie?I hear a howling this Halloween night and I know that it's meant to give me a fright. |
 | Someone is screaming and crying out moans and the wind blows so hard it is chilling my bones.Now I hear footsteps following me, but I can't turn around, who could it be? I'll try to walk faster; maybe it'll go away, but I had heard this could happen on Halloween day.What ever it is I can hear it crunching, it might be an earthling; this monster is munching. |
 | I just saw his shadow go past the tree. It looks like this monster is much bigger than me.I'll bet he has three heads, each with one eye and if you look into all of them you're sure to die. His steps are getting louder, he's getting close. He must be ugly, slimy and gross.Why did I ever come to this place, I should have stayed up there in outer space. |
| What do I do if he tries to eat me? I've heard monsters eat anything they happen to see.Where is my friend I was traveling with? When I tell him my story he'll think it's a myth. I hope it's not him the monster is eating. We shouldn't have come down here to see trick or treating.Now it seems quiet, I don't hear a sound. It seems that the monster is no longer around. |
 | But what is this hand that just touched my shoulder? It's got me so scared that the air feels much colder.I can't seem to move, I'm frozen with fear, the monster kept munching right in my ear. Please don't let him eat me, I started to pray. Then the monster started mumbling like he had something to say.I turned around quick, the monster was Andy, stuffing his face with a bag full of candy. |
 | It seems the earthlings thought he was one of their kind and they invited him along so he didn't mind.They said he had the best costume they'd ever seen, he looked like a real Martian with his skin so green. So he went trick or treating and got a bag full of treats. He made lots of new friends who were covered with sheets. He told me he carved a pumpkin and put a candle inside. He said he met Frankenstein and his new blushing green bride.They all bobbed for apples and Andy's costume won first place. When everyone asked where he got it they laughed when he said "outer space." |
 | I wish I was more like Andy and not so afraid to have fun. I missed out on all the good things and now Halloween is all done.We boarded our ship and Andy went on about all the things that I missed. Next year I'll come back and do things differently I wished.Maybe I'll volunteer for the next mission to observe human living. I'd like to find out why turkeys always hide on what earthlings call Thanksgiving. |
