Prompt: What was the best Halloween you ever had? What made it great? What would make this Halloween even better than that?
Once upon a time, in a small town nestled in the heart of the countryside, there was a young girl named Lily. She had always loved Halloween, but the best Halloween she ever had was when she was twelve years old.
Her parents had helped her create the perfect costume - she dressed up as a witch with a long black dress, a pointed hat, and a broomstick. She had spent weeks practicing her cackling laugh and perfecting her "spells."
On Halloween night, Lily and her friends set out trick-or-treating. They went from house to house, filling their bags with candy and enjoying the spooky decorations that adorned the front yards of the neighbourhood.
But the real highlight of the night was the haunted house that a group of high school students had set up in an abandoned barn on the outskirts of town. Lily and her friends nervously made their way through the maze of frightening decorations and actors dressed up as zombies, ghosts, and other scary creatures.
It was the perfect Halloween - spooky, fun, and full of treats.
As Lily grew older, she continued to love Halloween, but found it harder to recapture the magic of that special night. But she knew that the key to making this Halloween even better than that one was to embrace the spirit of the holiday and create new memories with the people she loved.
So this Halloween, Lily planned to host a costume party with her friends and family. She would make spooky decorations, bake delicious treats, and encourage everyone to dress up in their most creative costumes.
She knew that it wouldn't be the same as that perfect Halloween from her childhood, but it would be a different kind of magic - one that came from spending time with the people she loved and creating new memories to cherish.
