Halloween Short Story

I took off my Halloween costume, washed the paint off my face, put on my pajamas, brushed my teeth, and went to bed. I was almost asleep when I first heard the sound, it seemed to be someone was out front mowing our lawn! This was especially strange because our front yard is full of rocks. I grab my phone and sword, and went by the front window to investigate. When I got to the window, I saw something awful in the yard. Someone or something, was in our yard with a lawn mower. I grab my phone and call my mom. It rings a few times, but she never answers. I decide to take matters into my own hands. I grab my sword, and prepare to battle the creature. I tried to throw open the door, but I forgot to unlock it. Luckily, no one is around so no one will ever know how embarrassing that was. I unlock it and this time successfully, open the door. After this I run forward, and like a crazy person start screaming and whacking the creature. After a minute I hear, "Zac stop it's just a joke!". I grab my phone and using it as a flashlight, I find out that I had accidentally been beating the crap out of my friend with a sword. After that, and a bit of questioning my friend I find out that he thought no one was home and he wanted to see what we would do if he left a lawnmower on in our yard. After that, I went inside, locked the door leaving my friend outside, and went to bed.



Yes I really do have a sword. It is made of several layers of foam on the outside and a fiberglass pole in the middle
