The walk at night

Spooky!

Once upon a time there was an egg named Oscar. He woke up one evening, opened his door, looked up at the full moon peeking out from behind a cloud, and said, “Ahhh, what a spooky night for a walk”.

So Oscar set out on his walk. As he walked down the dimly lit street, he noticed a low hanging fog blowing in, like wisps of smoke creeping across the street and wrapping their fingers around him like an octopus might wrap its tentacles around whatever it is that octopuses eat.

I’m not really sure what octopuses eat. I don’t think I’ve ever seen pictures of an octopus eating anything except for the legendary giant octopuses seen taking down old sailor ships. I don’t think those were real. The only octopuses I’ve seen in real life were actually pretty small. I think some people eat octopus in soup, but it’s not something that I’m fond of. But I digress – back to Oscar.

As I was saying, Oscar was walking along noticing the low hanging fog, full moon, and scary looking trees. Did I mention the scary looking trees? They were swaying in the wind with their bare branches looking all scary and what not.

Suddenly, a monster jumped out right in front of Oscar! He was tall, with big hairy hands, pointy ears, large fangs, and about fifty or so eyes. He looked so scary, that just about anyone that saw him would melt away in fear like butter squirted over movie theater popcorn.

But Oscar looked at him and said, “Hello, Monster.”

And Monster said, “Hello, Oscar”. For this monsters name was, by coincidence, Monster, and Monster was a friend of Oscar.

Monster said, “It’s a spooky night for a walk”

To which Oscar said, “yes, it is”

And they talked back and forth like that for some time when suddenly A GIANT SEA SERPENT SWALLOWED THEM WHOLE!

After a few quiet seconds, Oscar yelled, “Cut that out!”

So the serpent spat them out (splat) on the ground and said, “My Bad”, and slithered away.

The End
