Candy Corn for Monster
Monster
jumped. What was that horrible black creature? He
breathed out. Oh – only my shadow. Am I
really that big? Oooh, who can I scare?
Monster shuffled towards a group of creatures – they
certainly looked weird. As he raised his arms and opened his mouth, the
smallest creature screamed.
“Go away Monster!” She dipped into her bag and threw
a handful of candy corn at him.
Several hit his nose. “Ow! That hurt! That wasn’t
nice!” Monster scooped up a few corns and popped them in his mouth. “Yummy! Any
more?”

Poor monster pelted with delicious candy corns. Well done! Good luck!
Poor monster seems a little lost. I like that he is rewarded with treats. Great job!
Hmm...who would have thought of using candy corn as an alternative to pepper spray! Cute story.
I enjoyed reading this. Good use of the candy corn. Good luck.
What a cute story!
Great story, Bev! Good luck in the contest.
Nothing worse than being pelted with candy corn. Well, maybe eating it.....Good luck!
Fun story, Bev :) Candy corn can calm the scariest monster! Good luck :)
Cute story, Bev. I love friendly, sugar-loving monsters. Good luck!
There's a great reason to buy candy corn -- Monster Repellent! Clever!
Haha! Love that Monster is scared of his own shadow! Cute!
What fun! I really feel for this monster :)
So much fun! ‘Yummy’ ending ;-)
Really cute!
Well done, Bev! If they were Twix bars, I wouldn't mind being pelted with them. And I LOVE your website banner...it is beautiful!
Fun monster story. True fact: I've never tasted candy corn!
Hi Beverly,
I was going to say what a waste of candy corn, but the Monster rectified that situation by eating them. Fun story! Good luck in the contest.

Cute story! Glad Monster got to enjoy the candy corn.
So much can be done with candy corn these days.
Way to think quick little one and make a friend of sorts.
Nice job. One hundred words is tricky.
Now I'm motivated to dress up like a monster today. Hit me with all the candy corn you've got! NOM NOM NOM!
Bev, your story is really cute. I love that the little girl is not afraid of the monster. Reminds of the original FRANKENSTEIN movie from the 30's. Good luck!
Great idea! You did a lot with your 100 words!
Best possible use of candy corn! Fun story.
Thanks so much everyone! I really appreciate your lovely comments. It was a fun challenge.
Hahaha! Candy corn as a weapon! I love it, Beverley! :) I'm not sure the little girl did her kind a service, though - the yumminess of the candy corn might just encourage him :) Thanks so much for joining in the Halloweensie fun!
Cute! I love her pelting him with candy corn.
