Free Story For Halloween

I have twin sons who are in elementary school, and one of my greatest joys is writing original fiction for their classes in which I incorporate their classmates as characters. Watching the students’ reactions as they hear their name assigned to characters within a fictional story is priceless. And, I believe, it awakens young minds to the power of the written word, and the realm of the imagination
