Exceptional 200 word Horror story contest entry Halloween Treats by DragonSkulls      200-Word or Under Horror Flash Fic Contest Winner

I opened my door and four little children yelled, "Trick or Treat!" "Oh my, look how scary you all are. I guess I better give up the candy." I looked up at the parents on the sidewalk and waved. "The candy's right in that room." I pointed to a room, just off the hallway, that had a purple light glowing. They ran inside for their rewards. I turned and gave the parents a sinister grin, then slammed the front door shut. With the children in the room, I locked them there. I hurried to the far end of the hallway and watched the frightened parents come running in. When all five were through the door, I yanked the lever down to the trap floor. One side of the hallway floor let loose, dropping them to the basement, where I had lines and rows of four foot metal spikes waiting to catch them. I pushed the lever back, shut the front door, turned off the lights and went downstairs. I knelt by the couple people still alive, who clearly wouldn't be for long, and said, "I just wanted to thank you for my Halloween treats...I'm sure they'll be delicious."   200-Word or Under Horror Flash Fic Contest Winner
