MISTER MEANIE by Vera Cait

First up on our spooky Halloween Flash Flood is our lovely Vera Cait with a story about the meanest man in town. There's a lesson in this one... reap what you sow!

Enjoy reading it and please feel free to leave some nice comments for the wonderful writer!

MR.  MEANIE

by

Vera Cait

He was so mean, sold the School playground and turned it into a carpark. Said he could do 
what he liked with his land. Luckily, farmer Jones offered us land near the School.

This was better because we now had a mini football field!

Mr. Meehan ( Meanie to us) would have taken the School as well, but the papers had been
signed over, good and proper.  He tried to put a ban on our ‘play-noise’. Teacher asked us
to be calm, yet she didn’tmind us screaming and laughing when we played. That’s when we

decided to teach Mr. Meanie a lesson.

Wearing our Hollaween outfits, we snuck into Mr. Meanie’s house and up the squeaky stairs… 
He sat up in bed and shouted at us... We got such a fright we began to scream!

I froze and waved my hands in desperation. Suddenly Mr. Meanie dropped back unto the pillows. 
We scarpered down the stairs and ran home.

Next morning, there was a great commotion in the Village. Mr. Meanie had died in his sleep. 
People were puzzled by the look of horror on his face!

Should we confess?  I wonder.

THE END

HALLOWEEN HORROR FLASHES!

It's Halloween and that means a chance for spooky, creepy stories to freak us out!

Over the course of the day today, Wicklow Wrtiers will post some of our more unsettling work, some nasty little stories you can read here on the blog.

So stay tuned!
