STORIES
From Page 1-B
candle and my dad got a flashlight. And suddenly we
heard a noise. Ka-boom. Ka-boom. We flashed the
light toward the sound. There in the light was my cat
thumping the wall with his tail. I felt so silly. It was
only my cat.

The Haunted House
There once was a house on the other side of the
street. No one has ever lived in it. It was the oldest
house I ever saw. The shutters were all broken, the
windows were cracked, and there were spiders and spi-
der webs everywhere. Also the house was about three
stories high.
Well, one day I was walking to school will my
friends Jessica and Tommy. They were brother and sis-
ter. Except Tommy was older. Well, the day after the
next I was coming home from school and went over
the Jessica and Tommy's house to play. Tommy said, "
I dare you to go in the house on the other side of the
street.” And I said, "no."
He thought I was a big chicken and he kept on say-
ing that I was chicken until I said "yes." So the next
day we rode our bikes to the house that day. I was very
nervous. I was going to turn back but I knew Tommy
was going to say chicken. So I walked step by step
very slowly.
I thought I saw someone in the house, but I must be
seeing things because I was so nervous. I wanted to get
it over with, so I went very fast. I opened the door very
+ slowly, and walked in. Then I realized that it was nine
o'clock p.m, and it was Halloween night. I got more
nervous. My legs were twittering and my teeth were
moving up and down. I finally got calm and walked in
and the door fell off.
I went up stairs until I got to the third step and the
step collapsed. I ran up to the top of the steps in five
seconds. When I got there, there were footsteps in the
other room. I cleared my ears but I kept hearing the
footsteps. I knew it was someone. The footsteps
sounded lighter. Suddenly I hit someone's back and I
ran off until I got to another room.
I found myself in a room filled with skeletons and
other spooky Halloween stuff. Eeeeech! I ran and hit
something. That thing and I fell down. We looked at
each other and what do you know? It was a little boy
lost from trick or treating, and he was trick or treating
alone too. We got to know each other and we both
tried to find a way out.
We looked in every room except five because every
room that we looked at always had something pop out
of it. Well, I looked in one and it was the wrong one.
The little boy looked in one, too, and boom! Wrong
one.
I looked at another and the little boy looked at one
too, but both of them were wrong. So that leaves one
more room, the middle room. So the little boy and I
opened the door slowly and what do you know? It was
the right door. We came out and saw thousands of kids
trick or treating at all of the houses. The boy that was
with me ran off and went trick or treating too. I had
spider webs all over me and spiders too. It was a black
widow spider. I tried to wipe it off but it wouldn't
come out. Finally it came off and I ran to the other side
of the street to my house. Tommy and Jessica said, "I
dare you to go in the haunted house again tomorrow." I
said, "No." Tommy called me a chicken but I didn't
care. I would rather be called a chicken than to go back
in the old house. So ever or never I went in that haunt-
ed house again.

The Haunted House
I was at my friend's house one evening. It started to
get late so I started home. As I was riding my bike
home it started to thunder and lightning.
Then I ran over a piece of glass. The next thing I
knew I had a flat tire, so I got off my bike and started
walking. I walked for what seemed like miles.
I was looking for a house so I could call home. But
nothing was in sight but woods. So I walked a little
farther, when I noticed an old raggedy, run down
house. It looked empty and scary. I didn't want to go
there, but I was tired and wet. So I went up to the
house and started to knock on the door but the door
opened by itself.
I waited a few seconds before I went in. The door
slammed behind me. I tried to open it but it wouldn't
open. I started to get really scared. I began to run to
look for another way out. I saw a phone as I was run-
ning. I stopped to use it but a big black widow spider
was on the phone. I kept running.
I couldn't find another way out. Then I started to get
very sleepy, so I laid down on the floor to go to sleep. I
thought if I got some rest I could think better.
As I was falling asleep I started to hear a noise that
sounded like chains. The noise started to get louder as
if it were coming closer to me. Then, all of a sudden,
the noise was right beside me. I looked around and
didn't see anything, so I fell asleep.
The next morning I found out what the noise was. It
was a cute little dog on a thin, silver chain. I guess he
had gotten loose and lost like I was.

The Day I Went Trick Or Treating
One day I went trick or treating with my family. We
went to thirty houses and we filled dup our pails of
candy. Then we got done and went into our car..
It was raining and thundering. When we started the
car we found out that we ran out of gas. Dad and Mom
got mad and said, "we have to walk in the rain and try
to find a gas station." We walked and walked for miles
and miles. Our pails were full of water and our candy
was soggy. Then, out of nowhere somebody bumped
into me. I screamed very loud. Then I recognized it
was my sister. I told her she scared me. She said, "I'm
sorry. It was so dark I couldn't see you." I said "that's
O.K. I understand."
We kept walking. We still couldn't find a gas station.
We walked and walked. Suddenly we heard voices.
My sister got scared. I walked over to the bushes and
we saw eight people having a conversation. They were
talking about which house they were going to haunt
next.
My sister was scared. She made noises. The host
heard her and they started chasing us. Miles and miles
we all ran. Then we got into our car and drove home.
Nobody knew who filled up the car with gas.

One Crazy Night
On a dark and spooky night I was riding my bike
home from a friend's house. I must have gotten on the
wrong road because all I saw was woods.
Finally, I saw a house. I walked up to the door. I was
getting ready to push the door bell but it disappeared.
So I knocked and this big, fat man opened the door. He
said, "may I help you?"
"Ca-ca-can I use your te-te-telephone?” "Go right
ahead," he said. I tried but the telephone was dead. So
I asked him if I could stay over. He said, "yes, if you
need clothes look in the closet."
I went upstairs and looked in the closet and there
was a man hanging. I ran down the stairs and got on
my bike and left.

Another Football Field
One night I was passing football at the old City
Stadium. I threw the football and it went into the
graveyard.
Matt and Nicholas told me to go get it. I was about
to pick it up and just then a hand from the ground
pulled it under. So I got Nicholas and Matt to come up
there and we grabbed some shovels and started dig-
ging. Finally we hit a casket. We opened it up and it
was a doorway to an underground football field.
Skeletons were passing our football. They were play-
ing a game when we climbed in the casket.
We tried to get the ball back. Finally, we got it and
the skeletons started to chase us. We started running.
They chased us all over town. We tried to climb a tree
but the trees were made out of bones. They crumbled
when we tried to climb them.
Finally, we lost the skeletons and we ran back to the
opening. We jumped out, shut the door and covered it
up.

FORACHANGE?
Just a Few Reasons Why,
After 18 Years of Jesse Helms in Washington,
It’s Time for a Change:
Education—-Jesse Helms has the worst
record in the Senate on education.
* One third of our children are dropouts.
* SAT. scores are 49th in the nation.
* The National Education Association rates
his record “zero”
Environment—Jesse Helms has voted 95
times against protecting North Carolina's
environment.
* Over 2 of N.C. rivers & streams are unsafe
for swimming and fishing.
* Mt. Mitchell is being killed by acid rain.
* Jesse Helms voted against the Clean Air Act,
the Clean Water Act and against toxic
waste clean-up.
* N.C. Environmentalists call his record
“disgraceful”
Choice—Jesse Helms wants to control
women's bodies.
* He wants to make abortion illegal, even in
cases of rape and incest.
* He tries to change the Constitution to make
the victims of rape and incest criminals.
Farming—Jesse Helms didn’t show up
for N.C. farmers.
« He failed to attend 19 of 20 Senate
Agriculture Committee meetings this year.
* Then he voted against the Farm Bill.
Toxic Waste—Jesse Helms refuses to
speak out against putting a hazardous
waste incinerator in N.C.
* N.C. may become a regional dumping ground
for toxic waste.
* Jesse Helms criticizes Harvey Gantt for
speaking out against the incinerator.
Elderly—Jesse Helms has turned his
back on the senior citizens of N.C.
Jesse Helms voted against Medicare
22 times.
* He voted against Social Security 25 times.
* He voted against providing doctors for rural
health care and against Meals on Wheels.
Fair Share—Jesse Helms isn't doing the
job for North Carolina.
* N.C. ranks last in the nation in tax dollars per
person returned to the state.
* N.C. has the poorest record in the country
in receiving fair share.
* As a result, N.C. has greater difficulty in
balancing its budget.
It’s definitely time
for a change.
Vote for Harvey Gantt on Nov. 6th!
