A spooky Halloween story

Eve lived on a street with many old houses on it, but none of the houses were as scary as the one in which Mrs. Heller lived. She was a mean old lady, but that wasn't why the house was scary. No, it was scary because it was haunted! "Why do we never walk down that way?" Eve's friend, Janet, pointed down the street towards Mrs. Heller's house. "That house is haunted," Eve told Janet. Janet rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right! There are no such things as ghosts and goblins and scary things like that. I'm going to go inside." Eve's eyes nearly popped out of her head. "You're going to ... what???" Janet was determined. "You heard me." And she started to walk towards the house. Because Eve was a good friend, she knew she couldn't leave Janet to go into a haunted house alone, so she followed Janet, even though her heart was thumping rapidly with fright. Within seconds Janet and Eve were fleeing down the street screaming. Mrs. Heller took off a mask and laughed as the girls ran away in fright.
