Trixie the Witch and her Halloween Tricks - Episode 13: Perfect Cobweb Potion (100 words)
Welcome to the show
my creepy crones and conjurers.
It's Halloween and
cobweb potion is a must for repelling those annoyingly cute trick-or-treaters.
The trick to perfect
cobweb potion is using quality cobwebs.
The trick to getting
quality cobwebs is finding giant spiders.
The trick to finding
giant spiders is going deep into the haunted forest.
The trick to going
deep into the haunted forest is not getting eaten by giant spiders.
The trick to not
getting eaten by giant spiders is running away empty-handed and giving out
candy to those irritatingly cute kids again this year.

Yes, leave the creepy forest and enjoy the treat-or-treaters!
I would rather be annoyed by trick-or-treaters than turned into a smoothie by a giant spider. Eek! Good luck!

Run away. What a fun ending.
Ha Ha! I wholeheartedly. I don't think I would have ever stepped foot in that forest! Good luck!
This was very clever. I would run a mile than venture into the forest.
When all else fails, had over the candy! Good Luck.
Very clever. Love how you build up the tension and then do what any self-respecting human would do.
So fun! I enjoyed the building of the story and the humor at the end! :) Good luck!
Hah! In envisioned this like a documentary-gone-wrong. Love it :)
The trick to ... well, this was fun to read. I can imagine someone narrating it in a deadpan voice.
Wonderful, wi\ckedly humorous parody of cooking/DIY shows. Terrific way to circle the story at the end.
Great escalation! Very fun!
Love the repetition and escalation. Good luck!
This was so cute, great ending!
I like your entry. One of your sentences has all three words too. Nice job and good luck.
Yes, the best solution is NOT to brave the forest. Great story!
Ha! I love the build.
Ha ha, very funny. What's a little candy distribution to annoying kids, compared to giant man eating spiders! Good luck in the contest.
