A Spooky Halloween Dog Story
by Skye McDougal, the dog.
Once upon a time, there was an amazing wonderdog named Skye who loved taking walks with his people. They walked, and ran, and his people threw biscuits for him to catch, and he was the happiest dog on earth.
One day they walked past a very peculiar place with big furry things in the field. The furry things looked like marshmallows with legs, and they smelled funny. Skye didn't like them one bit. In fact, he wanted to turn around and run home soooooo fast, but his people wouldn't let him.
Instead they laughed and pointed and said, "Look at the skeeeeeerd leeeeeetle doggie! Why he's 'fraid o' sheep!"
The other one laughed and said, "Ain't he s'posed to be a sheep-herding sumthin'-er-uther?"
They both chuckled and said, "Aye-yup. Some herdin' dog!"
And Skye tucked his tail between his legs and shivered because those marshmallows with legs were standing there STARING at him, and he knew that they would eat him if they had the chance.
Later that night, the tall person sat down and spoke to Skye. "Skye, my laddie. You can't be 'fraid no sheep. Yer the bossa them, and they hafta listen to ya."
Skye nodded and decided that starting tomorrow, he would show those puffy marshmallows who was boss.
Tomorrow came, and Skye jumped for joy. He was going to be the boss today. And as he neared the smelly walking marshmallow field, he saw one of them look up at him. The scariest one of all. The meanest looking marshmallow of the bunch! And immediately Skye's tail started to dip between his legs.
"No fair," said Skye! "Stop looking at me, you stupid marshmallow!"
The sheep all looked at the scaredy little doggie with his tail between his legs and stared harder.
"BLAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
they screamed.
Skye cried and ran home.
That evening the tall person spoke to Skye again.
"Sky, m'laddie, there's no reason ta be skeerd of some wee baaa-babies! There's nothin' they kin do to ya, ye little nipper! You are the bossa them! So tomorrow I want you to march yer little patootie up there and show them who is in charge!"
The next morning Skye was so happy! He bounced and hopped all the way to the stinky walking marshmallow field and as he approached them, he saw the scary one look his direction. Skye could swear he saw fangs, but he kept moving forward, singing a little song.
"stuu-hooo-hoooo-pid mar-har-har-shmallowwwwwssssssss...."
Skye looked around out of the corner of his eye. The marshmallows were all looking at him.
"I ha-ha-hate you and I'm g-g-g-gonna sh-sh-sh-show yoooooooo whoo-ho-ho-hoooooo is in ch-ch-ch-charge . . . "
Skye looked around nervously. His heart was pounding in his chest. The other walking marshmallows were staring at him as he crept forward, inch by terrifying inch.
Slowly, the marshmallows surrounded Skye. Skye held his breath, waiting to see what would happen next. Fear crept into his stomach, twisting, turning, making him want to run away oh-so-fast, but he remembered what the tall one had said:
"show them who is in charge!
show them who is in charge!
show them who is in charge!"
And the sheep ate him. And his people were stupid.
The end.
