Each guest had to bring a scary story to read. There were only seven of us. After dinner, Thom lit candles and then turned out the lights.

everyone shouted. The candles went out.

she said.
Nina’s mom fought against the wind to reach her side. What are you talking about?
she yelled. What did you wish for?
I wished Great-Aunt Sally could come to my birthday party,
Nina said.
No, honey,
said her mom. Your Great-Aunt Sally died last week. Don’t you remember?
The doorbell rang.
"Someone’s
