The Spooky Day
By Lilah
Once, when I was at camp playing hockey, an alien popped out of nowhere. It said, “Can I play hockey with you?”
Nobody knew what to say.
The alien said, “Thanks, I love hockey” and played a game with us.
When the game was over, it tried to attack us.
I found the alien ship and pulled a lever. Something like a hammer came out and started to bang the alien on its head. My knee pushed a different lever. It pushed the alien up in the air.
The alien fell down and got out. It put me into its ship.
It took me into space.
I escaped the alien ship and landed on a weird planet called Zombie Planet. The zombies looked scary, but just wanted to play.
One zombie pushed me. I slipped and fell off Zombie Planet, came back to Earth, and landed on top of my school.
I climbed down and started to play. It was getting dark. I walked home, but nobody was home.
So, I put on the movie Labyrinth.
When it was over, I went to bed.
It had been a spooky day.
