KidLit is all about stories for eensie, weensie kids -- and PBs about eensie weensie stories -- and micro fiction about eensier weenier stories and Twitter contests often have the eensiest weensiest stories of all!  Such is the case with Susannah Hill's Halloweensie contest -- a Halloween story for kids 12 and under in less than 100 words!  AND it has to contain special words!  This year's words:  goodies, glow-in-the-dark,  and goosebumps!  All those g's inspired me to write an alliterative story.  I hope you enjoy my eensie weensie story and have a Happy Halloweensie!

HALLOWEEN GALA (100 words)

Green and gold glimmers grow
from glow-in-the-dark gourds.
Guests with goosebumps gather --
Gaggles of giggly girls and gangly guys,
Gussied up in grisly or glittery garb.

Glamorous ghosts and garish ghouls 
glide among games,
Vying for gallons of goodies.

Then. . . 
Glimmering lights go out!!
The sudden dark hides thievery.
When the glow resumes, 
Goodies have disappeared!

“Whodunnit?” 

Gumshoes on the job!
A clue:
Grunts and groans grow, 
from Angel Gabriel and Gladys Gladiator, 
from gobbling
goodies galore!

Looking green,
grasping their bellies, 
Gabriel and Gladys go.

Later. . . 
Goodies eaten,
Games won.
Glimmers ungleam.
Gourds unlit.
Guests ungather
Until next Halloween.
