            <p class="Normal">Ahhh! A big fat horrifying goblin is chasing me. I'm screaming at the top of my lungs, help! He dived to catch me, luckily he missed and got my shoe! I am still running for life outside. Now there were more goblins and they kept coming.</p>
            <p>Help, I woke up, and I was in my striped pajamas in my bed, I almost threw up. I felt my bed it was real and then I slapped myself and I felt it. I heard birds chirp in the morning sun.</p>
            <p>When I got home from school I felt a rush of energy and jumped into the air 'it is Halloween' I screeched! I ran inside. All of the decorations were up. I started on my homework early when someone in a goblin suite rang the doorbell.</p>
            <p>'Trick or treat' I jumped! I gave him some candy and he left. That strange he looked exactly the same as the goblin in my dream! I was still startled from the kid!</p>
            <p>When I finished my homework I got on my costume and ran outside to greet my friends Jeff and Joe. Jeff was the tall one in the Ghostbusters costume. Joe was the short one with the ghost costume.</p>
            <p>We started down the street when I saw it; it was Mrs. Joesseakey's house! Everybody thought it was infested with goblins and ghouls! When I gathered enough courage to go and ring the door bell.</p>
            <p>'No' yelled Jeff, but it was too late, I rang the doorbell! Mrs. Joeseakey answered. She said nothing. Out of no were she fallen over when I went down to help her up I noticed it was not her, it was a cardboard cutout of here! AAAH!</p>
            <p>A stream of goblins came running out after me and my friends! We ran all the way to the way around the cul-de-sac.</p>
            <p>WE passed her house again and I saw a kid ring the doorbell at Mrs. Joeseakey's House, again goblins came out of the house but they disappeared in thin air! It was an Illusion.</p>
            <p>That night I fell to sleep in laughter. ZZZZZZ.</p><br />
