The​ ​Brooklawn​ ​Buzz September / October​ ​edition​ ​2017

Bang​ ​crash!
“ Oops​ ​didn ' t​ ​mean​ ​to​ ​do​ ​that,” ​ ​said Venus, ​ ​“ ​ ​they​ ​must​ ​of​ ​left​ ​me​ ​down​ ​here. Hmmm, ​ ​how​ ​can​ ​I​ ​get​ ​out​ ​of​ ​here? ​ ​Ahhh perfect​ ​a​ ​window.”
She​ ​wandered​ ​near​ ​the​ ​window. ​ ​It​ ​had moss​ ​and​ ​vines​ ​on​ ​the​ ​outside. ​ ​This window​ ​had​ ​not​ ​been​ ​used​ ​since​ ​this house​ ​was​ ​made.
Rattle, ​ ​rattle, ​ ​cling, ​ ​crash.“ What​ ​is​ ​that​ ​nose?” ​ ​said​ ​Elliot“ Kids, ​ ​go​ ​to​ ​bed.” ​ ​said​ ​Sarah.
The​ ​basement​ ​door​ ​opened​ ​with​ ​a creak.
“ Hello​ ​is​ ​anyone​ ​down​ ​here?” ​ ​asked​ ​Bax
Gotta​ ​hide. ​ ​Gotta​ ​hide. ​ ​Ummm​ ​here​ ​we go... an​ ​old​ ​candy​ ​bowl.
Just​ ​by​ ​Venus ' s​ ​surprise​ ​the​ ​bowl​ ​was orange.
“ I​ ​guess​ ​it​ ​was​ ​nothing, ​ ​let ' s​ ​go.” ​ ​said Coal.
“ What​ ​about​ ​the​ ​pumpkin? ​ ​Hey​ ​there​ ​it is!” ​ ​screamed​ ​Scarlet​ ​and​ ​Ana​ ​right​ ​in Jennys​ ​ear.
The​ ​pumpkin​ ​was​ ​just​ ​getting​ ​out​ ​when the​ ​kids​ ​started​ ​to​ ​chase​ ​her.
“ CATCH​ ​THAT​ ​PUMPKIN!” ​ ​they​ ​all yelled.
Venus​ ​hopped​ ​her​ ​way​ ​to​ ​to​ ​Mino​ ​Bay and​ ​sat​ ​there​ ​out​ ​of​ ​breath​ ​just​ ​hoping not​ ​to​ ​be​ ​found​ ​by​ ​the​ ​humans.
What​ ​are​ ​they​ ​going​ ​to​ ​carve​ ​my​ ​face into? ​ ​A​ ​Jack-o-lantern. ​ ​Oh​ ​I​ ​can​ ​not think​ ​about​ ​this​ ​right​ ​now​ ​or​ ​it​ ​might​ ​just happen. ​ ​What​ ​to​ ​do? ​ ​What​ ​to​ ​do?
The​ ​children​ ​huffed​ ​on​ ​their​ ​way​ ​to​ ​find the​ ​pumpkin​ ​out​ ​of​ ​breath. ​ ​They​ ​sat down​ ​on​ ​a​ ​bench​ ​at​ ​Dice​ ​Street​ ​out​ ​of breath. ​ ​There​ ​was​ ​a​ ​fork​ ​in​ ​the​ ​road​ ​one leading​ ​to​ ​Lakewood​ ​Forest​ ​and​ ​the other​ ​leading​ ​to​ ​Mino​ ​Bay. ​ ​Their​ ​heads wondered​ ​with​ ​questions​ ​but​ ​the​ ​thing that​ ​should​ ​be​ ​asking​ ​questions​ ​is​ ​the pumpkin. ​ ​Elliot​ ​looked​ ​around.
“ We​ ​should​ ​split​ ​up.” ​ ​said​ ​Elliot​ ​“ You know, ​ ​to​ ​make​ ​it​ ​easier.”
“ Fine, ​ ​but​ ​we​ ​should​ ​do​ ​boys​ ​and​ ​girls.” said​ ​Ana.
“ No​ ​way!” ​ ​said​ ​Scarlet.“ Why​ ​not?” ​ ​asked​ ​Coal.“ Well …”“ Fine” ​ ​said​ ​Bax​ ​sounding​ ​annoyed.
“ Well​ ​I​ ​am​ ​certainly​ ​not​ ​being​ ​on​ ​Bax’ s team.” ​ ​said​ ​Jenny​ ​with​ ​rage.
