Two Sentence Mysteries for Halloween

Ghost at work

A fellow writer dared her readers to write two sentence mysteries for Halloween. I think it’s supposed to help writers become more creative and build confidence. Here are a few quick ones. Feel free to vote for the best one or not! Feel free to submit yours. They can’t be any worse than mine.  Can’t hurt and is fun!

Happy Halloween!

 Mirror on the Wall

As I passed the mirror, I saw my long dead mother with her wavy brown hair and dark brown eyes who looked old and tired. Then I recognized my profile.

 The Wind Howled

The dog barked, while the wind howled. I heard noises on the wooden porch, as the little pumpkins rolled around and hit the door repeatedly.

 What’s that Noise?

As I ascended into the basement, I heard “bump, bump, bump,” creating fear in my breast.  Must be the dang cellphone in my bathrobe pocket again.

Do Pumpkins Have Feelings?

Why did the nifty carved pumpkin look like he hated me. “You hurt me,” he croaked!

Not a Bad Assumption

These nuts taste stale and tasteless. I bet the Office Manager wants me to bring my pumpkin cake on Friday!

Am I Brave

Will I be brave enough to post this trash?  I must be crazy!

Thank you, Jean Cogdell, for urging us to create something we don’t have any idea how to do!
