Trick or Treat!

Hey Folks,

Teach had us write a sensory imagery assignment about Rockets, with out using the word its self. Here is my Story. Enjoy.

“Trick or Treat!” we shouted as the door opened up to a little old lady dressed up as a black cat. The lady was talking to the kids all around me; I could have cared less about how cute we were. I wasn’t supposed to be cute; I was Dracula a blood sucking vampire with plastic teeth. The old lady dropped cylindrical packages in to our pillow cases. “Alright boys, its time to call it a night, I’ve got enough of your candy to haul home anyways. Dad’s tired” commented my father as he patted my brother and I on the shoulder.

Danny and I jolted to the front door bee-lining to the living room to get the best place on the floor with the most room. Dumping our pillow cases on to the floor in big piles, we began to sort. “You know Turbo, Vampires don’t eat candy, guess all of this candy is mine.” Dad joked.

“Nuh-Uh!” I yelped pulling out the plastic vampire teeth from my mouth and tossing them to the ground to be forgotten. “I’m not a vampire Daddy, I’m a little kid!” I yelled baring my teeth to show the fangs were gone. I dove towards the pile of candy and grabbed a cylindrical package from the top of the pile. Since I was far too young to read I had no idea of what they were called.

The cellophane crinkled in my hand as I twisted at the top and bottom of the package. The crinkling continued as I carefully pulled the top open so I didn’t spill any of the tiny bite sized goodies inside. There was numerous little hockey puck shaped candies in all different colours in pastel. Yellows, reds, blues, purples, whites and pinks. They smelled of a high concentration of sugar, an excitement for any little kid at least. I picked one up and popped it into my mouth; it was hard and slowly dissolved in my mouth with an explosion of sugar. I did this a few times quickly narrowing the number of candies down. I quickly learned that if you bit into one it would dissolve at a much higher rate. These tiny candies quickly became a favourite candy if my childhood.
