One Halloween night my friends and I were putting on our costumes. My friends' names were Tyshawn and Rushod. Of course you know who I am, Malcolm. At 11:00 pm in South Carolina woods, weird things happen. My friends and I were in the woods with our costumes on, but then I was alone. This plays a big part in my story.

My friends and I put on our costumes and ges ready to go trick-or-treating. My mom tells me not to go in the woods. I say, "But going in the woods is the best part." But as always my mom says "No! I don't want you near those woods." My mom was always so over-protective. So I tried my best to keep me and my friends out of those woods, but my kid instinct forced me into the woods. When my friends and I were in the woods we started hearing weird buzzing noises like bees on hot summer day. Then it got louder and louder.

Once it got quiet, we started hearing running in all directions closing in us like a tiger and its prey but then... Everything got really quiet. When I look around my friends were gone without a trace.

Finally the noise winds down like it's getting far away. When I find my friends I find out that they were out of the woods waiting for me. They say something snatched them up.

When we got home my mother asks us why we had no candy and my friends just screams out that we went in the woods. All of us were punished. So we all made it out of the mysterious woods unharmed and safe. Remember: never go places without permission and also remember even though you think you're alone, you are NEVER alone!
