Halloween

Becca gasped as she looked to the genie. She could get anything she wanted, anything at all. But of course she was smart. She knew anything she said would be twisted around. So why not have a simple wish? And since it was Halloween, it was even better. She smiled as she opened her mouth. "I wish i had white hair." With white hair, she could fit into any costume and look cool in it too. The genie grinned and snapped his fingers before leaving. Becca quickly ran into the mirror only to be greeted ...

I'll admit I was a bit glum for a little while. This past week made me forget all my efforts for getting into the halloween spirit. These two things have rejuvenated me! Thank you very, very much, Morningside! I can't wait till Halloween. I really wish I were a real-life werewolf though. :) AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
