Raining Worms

Raining Worms
It was a ordinary day in Maine: the leaves were changing, wind was breezy, clouds were slightly grey.

I had to hurry into my house, this day just struck fear in me. It's not even halloween yet but in this town Chadwick they celebrate the day before halloween.

Halloween here is very quiet, they don't trick or treat. Everyone just goes to the store and binge on candy while dressed in costumes at home.

Being new here it confused me at first but when I looked out the window it was terrifying. I finally head inside, taking off my bag and coat.

"Mom?! Dad?!" I yelled but no one answered. I sighed deeply, they have joined the festivities too. Moving here two years ago, I expected nothing like this the day before halloween.

My parents joined it last year because they made friends and said it was fun. I lock my doors and windows, something brushes by my ankle and jump with a yelp.

Looking down, I see it's my dog fergie. I pick him up, nuzzling his fur and ears and we head to the living room couch. I wait for the time to hit three, because that's when it starts.

I dare not to step out of my house when worms start raining from the sky, the whole town. bringing their plates to eat them and some parts of each other. Even the trees and birds decay all around you.

I take precaution because it can end up like a zombie invasion. I hit the power button on the TV, turning the volume on high and holding fergie real tightas the clock struck three.

And it begins.
