Read these examples:

A witch screeched across the dark sky on her broom. The ghost flew through the windows in the haunted house.

A witch screeched across the dark sky on her broom, and the ghost flew through the windows in the haunted house.

Great Examples ! Now try to complete your story---- Great descriptions, nifty nouns, and vivid verbs!

A witch screeched through the dark sky on a broom stick on a stormy night, as ghosts fly in an orange sky through haunted houses and by oak trees. Goblins sneak through the bushes with kids' candy on a full moon night, as zombies stagger through the streets eating birds on a cloudy night. Hairy monster stomps through the woods with kids' candy bags on a clear night, but fat, juicy hot dogs sizzle on a plate with ketchup on Halloween.

Example:

A witch screeched across the dark sky on her broom, and the ghost flew through the windows in the haunted house. The princess screamed at the ghostly flights, but her little brother laughed. Then a goblin grabbed his bag of candy, and the princess squealed as the fog followed the goblin away. The princess and her brother scampered across the frosty lawn back towards their red brick house, and the wind forced them forward. They pushed open the front door to their house, and dad stood in the living room with a goblin mask in his hand. "Dad!" Todd exclaimed, "You fooled me again this year!"
