The Old Man
           It was Halloween night I came back from trick or treating because my mom said to go home because my brothers and sisters were getting mad at me because I kept....Stealing the best candy. She also gave the you are too old for halloween anyway excuse. I know right. Stupid. When I got home I was about to take off this years halloween costume ( superhero if you really want to know ). But then a knock at our door begged me to go and see who it was. I opened the door to find an old man hungry and in need of some food.  So I invited him in and made him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a side of oranges. He thanked me and asked if he could do anything in return.

           I looked down at my superhero outfit I still hadn't taken off and had one of those daydreams that would be completely and utterly impossible in real life. "Not unless you can do the impossible". I said. "It depends on what you think is impossible." The man said. Then he snapped his fingers and with a flash of blue light he disappeared and then reappeared with a flash of red light. I couldn't believe my eyes. Either I was hallucinating or I had A SORCERER IN MY HOUSE! I was filled with excitement as I asked. Can you give me the ability to fly? "It depends on how much peanut butter you have in your pantry". The old man said said. So I went into the kitchen and made another peanut butter and jelly sandwich. When I gave him the next sandwich he snapped his fingers and with a flash of purple light he was gone and I was FLYING IN THE AIR!!!

            So I went outside and shot up like a speeding bullet doing all sorts of tricks. Then when I saw my family. I decided I wanted to scare my younger brother. Because he stole some of my Pokemon cards earlier this week. So I flew home doing more tricks on the way and I grabbed a sheet off my brothers bed. Then I put it on hid behind a corner and when my brother came around the corner. BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I scared him so bad he literally jumped out of his costume. Then I flew off before my dad or mom could see me. I spent the rest of the night using the bed sheet as a candy bag. And get this the people who gave me candy thought the ability to fly was part of my costume and gave me extra candy! About a half hour in I had the whole bed sheet full of candy.

           Then I just spent the last segment of the evening flying across the night sky like a human shooting star. When I could hardly sleep that night floating out of my bed every five seconds because of all the excitement rushing through my body all night while I was thinking what any of you would think if you had superpowers. I can't wait to show my friends. Then I thought about testing my super powers so I jumped off my bed. I can't explain what happened next. I face planted into my dirty laundry basket and almost died from the smell. When I lifted my head out of the the basket I spotted the old man from last night. So I jumped out of the window into the swimming pool below and climbed out of the bitterly cold water as fast as I could regretting the choice I made. I sprinted up to the man I saw out my window and he had similar clothing and was about the same age. But was not the person I was looking for. Then I heard a whistle and it was the man from last night so I ran up to him.So I asked him about why I face planted in my laundry basket instead of flying. You won't believe his answer. "You didn't give me enough peanut butter sandwiches." He said and walked off.

            But I guess I gave him enough to be able to fly every halloween. You have no idea how many times I have face planted into my laundry basket in order to figure that out. Lets just say my greatest fear of all my fears in the smell of dirty laundry. But I guess it was a good trade because ever since then I spend my nights flying across the night sky on halloween night.
