A Ghost in the Kitchen Story Sample

The Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

 One morning, when I went in the kitchen to eat my breakfast, a ghost was eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!  I was ready to panic when I recognized something weird on the ghost.  The ghost didn't wear a white sheet at all!  Instead, he wore an indigo sheet! I giggled a bit and then thought about Alex, my little sister.  Alex's favorite color was indigo.  I took one last peek at the ghost, and then tiptoed back to my room.    

   “Atchoum!” I suddenly heard.  I almost got freaked out. 

   I thought about telling Alex what I saw.  She might like the ghost because her favorite color was indigo.  I stepped into Alex's bedroom and saw something that moved right under her covers.   

   “There’s Alex,” I whispered.  I slowly lifted the covers in case she was still asleep.  And right there, in front of my eyes, I saw Alex's brand new puppy, Fluffy. 

   When Fluffy saw me, he jumped out of bed and was heading for the kitchen.  Without even thinking, I ran after Fluffy.  He soon turned out to be in the ghost's arms, and I turned out to be looking straight at the ghost.
