The Halloween spirit had penetrated the very depths of her soul. She was ready.

The night was frigid --

"Clarissa!" Her Mom called and she rolled her eyes and went downstairs.

She came back and sat down at her computer and read:

The night was frigid and the monster slithered from the shadows.

She frowned, when had she written that? She kept writing.

The night was frigid and the monster slithered from the shadows with a chilling howl.

"You're crazy." Clarissa shook her head opening the window and kissing him.
