The Haunted Tower

One afternoon James and Ashley were walking down a(n) scary trail, looking for kindling for their campfire. The trees were dark and green, and there were colorful wildflowers all around. James and Ashley began to pick the wildflowers, and after a while, they ran so far that they had wandered away from the trail.

It started to get dark. James began to get worried, but Ashley seemed excited to have an adventure. “Look!” Ashley said. “Do you see that place? It looks like a house!”

“We're saved!” cried James, who was relieved.

Once they got closer, James felt very uneasy again. It didn't look like the cozy little cottage James had been imagining, but rather a big, spooky tower! It was about 7 feet tall, and it was covered with black ivy and moss. It was the creepiest thing James had ever seen!

James said, “Ashley, let's keep walking! There's no way I'm going into that tower! It looks haunted!”

“Don't be such a(n) coward! We're going in. I think it looks perfectly un-haunted!” said Ashley.

James was so scared that he could not open his eyes. He felt his legs chatter as Ashley opened the door. All of a sudden, James felt that he was not alone. He opened his eyes, prepared to see the worst. But instead, he saw all his friends and family inside the haunted tower! “Surprise! Happy birthday, James!” they all screamed.
