At first they heard nothing but their own breathing, then a low howling filled the room. It got louder, sounding like a hungry wolf. This was followed by scratching fingernails on dry wood.

Ruth Rose giggled. “This is like a scary movie,” she whispered to Josh, then raised her voice. “SOMETHING IS BEHIND THAT DOOR!”

Dink gave Josh a little shove. “Open the closet door, Josh,” he said. “There might be Halloween candy in there!”

“I wouldn’t open that door for all the candy on the planet!” Josh said. “I’m starting to hate Halloween!”

Dink laughed, then walked across the room and yanked open the closet door. A figure draped in a white sheet hopped out.

“BOO!” Dink’s father said, pulling the sheet away from his face.

“Hi, Dad,” Dink said. “Nice costume.”

“It was all I could come up with at the last minute,” his father said. He dropped the sheet onto his bed. “Sorry if I scared you.”

“We weren’t scared!” Josh said.

“Ha!” Ruth Rose said. “Your face was whiter than the sheet!”

“Okay, we all need to get to sleep,” Dink’s father said. “But first, I want to hear about your night.”

Taking turns, the kids told Dink’s father what had happened, starting with the bats and witch and ghoul in the woods. Dink’s father listened as he made up his bed.

When they got to the part about the burning wagons, he sat on the bed. “That’s so strange,” he said. “Well, I’m sure the police will figure it out tomorrow. Okay, pajamas and toothbrushing. I’m sure you all ate a lot of candy.”

“Josh did,” Dink said. “Did you know he can stuff seventeen marshmallows in his mouth at once?”

“Amazing, Josh!” Mr. Duncan said. “I’d love to see that!”

“Anytime, Mr. Duncan!” Josh said.
