13. READ THE EXCERPT BELOW: Gregory walked through the door and locked the lock. He was glad to be inside and away from the cold especially as the night was settling in. He pulled back the curtain, just at the corner, and peeked outside. When he pulled away, his face was ghastly pale. He ran into the kitchen and grabbed the first thing he could find: a baseball bat. Just then the doorbell rang. He approached the door cautiously, concentrating to see through the dimly lit night. Two figures were on his doorstep. One was shorter than the other and they both were wearing hoods to hide their faces. “Who’s there?” asked Gregory with his voice trembling. “TRICK OR TREAT!” The children screamed with delight. Gregory remembered then that it was Halloween night and he was supposed to give out candy. No wonder the street seemed so strange tonight!
