 Past:

Once  upon a time, there was a kid named James. James was a good kid until one day his mom disappeared. James didn’t know what to do. He began to fill with hatred and anger. To take his anger out he began to bully other people. Forty years later James past away with his evil heart. Still, today James haunts little kids and no one will ever forget about the, Spirit of James.

 Present:

” What are you going to be for Halloween?” Joey’s friend Marc asked him. ” I don’t know yet.” Joey said back. ” What are you going to be.”I’m gonna be a knight, slaying all evil things.” Marc replied back super fast. ” Cool. I’m might just scare some people trick-or-treating. I’m the tricker. Does that make sense? ” Not really, but I know what you mean.” Marc said in a concerned voice.

The next day was Friday, the 30, the day before Halloween. ” Are you exited for Halloween?” Joey’s mom asked him. ” Super!” Joey yelled enthusiastically. ” Is it okay if Marc comes over before we start handing out candy to other kids?” asked Joey. ” Sure.” Joey’s mom answered back. ” Oh’ mom can I go to Marc’s house right now?” Joey asked the last second. ” Okay.” Joey’s mom said back. ” Thanks,bye.”

On Joey’s way to Marc’s house Joey got lost. He decided to go back home when something caught his eye. A pumpkin to be specific. A pumpkin with two triangles as eyes, another smaller triangle as the nose, and a creepy smile that went around the whole entire pumpkin. The pumpkin also had a sticky note in the back of the pumpkin. The note said, ” Take me, I’m free.” The note scared Joey, but he wasn’t going to just leave a carved pumpkin lying there with a note that says take me, I’m free. On the other hand the pumpkin was in good shape. Joey decided to take the pumpkin home, he has made a horrible mistake.

” Today is Halloween! I’m super exited.” Joey told his mom. ” So what are you going to be you haven’t told me yet?” ” I’m not going to be anything. I’m just going to scare some kids.” Joey said. ” Okay, be careful not to scare little kids though. Only older kids about your age.”Joey’s mom told him. ” Okay.” Joey said back. Joey went to his room to check on the pumpkin. When he got to his room the pumpkin was lit with a candle inside. He was thinking who has been in the room. Every day after Joey would blow out the candle, the candle kept on getting lit.

One day Joey found a note on his pumpkin saying. ” The Spirit of James. I’m coming for you.” Joey got scared and wanted to tell his mom, to see if she put the note there. When Joey finished looking around the house he realized that he was home alone. ” Where did mom go?” Joey said in his mind. She didn’t tell me she left.

Joey went back upstairs to on his laptop to search about the spirit of James. The website said.

Cause of death: suicide, depression

James was once a sweet boy until his mom disappeared. James then got mixed emotions and started to hate everything that reminded him of his mom.

Joey felt bad for James and wanted to help him, but there was no way that was going to happen. Joey started to say some sort of prayer. ” James, James are you there!” Joey yelled throughout the whole house. Joey heard something flying around the whole house. ” It’s just a little wind.”Joey said scared and quietly.” Yeah, just a little wind.” All of the sudden the the candle in Joey’s pumpkin lit. ” Okay James I guess you are there.” Joey paused for a couple seconds and then said.  ” Let’s just be friends, I heard you don’t have much and-and-and I don’t either.” It started to rain outside, and a minute later it was a storm. ” Hey!” There was a strong force of wind coming from outside. ” Yeah you! Haven’t you ever thought about telling anybody your feelings? Maybe that’s why your struggling with your mom disappearing! You need to talk to someone to feel better. If you hide, then your gonna be frustrated everyday and turn into a monster that your not. Don’t you ever think that other people have feelings. It’s not all about you! Joey shouted so loud that James could hear him through the strong wind and storm. All of the sudden the strong wind stopped blowing and the storm stopped rumbling. Joey then said, ” I can help you find you mom.” The light in the pumpkin blew out. ” I take that as a yes.” Joey said in his mind. Joey went back on the website about the spirit of James and scrolled down a little and found.
