SPOOKY FILL IN THE BLANK By: Kenzie It was the evening of Halloween and the sun had already set. Outside, the streets were dark and quiet. Too quiet Friends Gaby and Kenzie were just setting out for their night of trick-or-treating when suddenly, a zombie apocalypse came down the street. Quick! yelled Gaby, we need to run to the bomb shelter. The best friends immediately ran to the bomb shelter. Before long, they came to the realization that it was locked, and thought that they were going to get eaten by zombies. But then, out of nowhere the lock broke! Did you hear that? asked Kenzie. Things were starting to get just a teeny bit exciting, so the best friends decided to find the zombie potion. Off they went. They knew they would do everything they could to find the zombie potion. Maybe if they were lucky, they would be able to use it for the death of the zombies. And you know what happened next?
