Gator Ghost Story by Max

Bob was very excited, because he and his friends were going to a gator park in Florida. What Bob didn’t know was that this trip would turn out to be one of the scariest experiences of his life.
“Wow! There are so many gators!” Bob’s friend, Horris, said, “Good thing they’re in cages.”
“I know, a big lizard with the strongest grip in the animal world is definitely a good thing to keep in a cage,” Bob replied.
Then, suddenly, a white figure flew through all the gate locks, and the door flew open!
“I hope this isn’t what they meant by ‘lunch donations for the gators are appreciated’!” Bob yelled as they ran from the horde of hungry gators.
But, alas, the boys were not fast enough to outrun the gators and soon realized their attempt to escape was futile while their so-called chaperones were hiding in the gift shop.
“I guess this is the end,” Horris said.
Then, suddenly, Horris and Bob were lifted up into the air and a white figure similar to what had unlocked the gate appeared in front of them.
” I remember a time when alligators roamed free through the swamps before you tourists put them in cages,” the ghost said angrily. Then, turned to the teachers
“Leave now or die!” he said to the teachers. “As for the boys, their death will be the revenge for all the years gators have been in cages.” The teachers, needing no prompting, ran out to one of the buses, gunned the gas and flew down the street as fast as the bus would go. Then the ghost turned to the kids with a hint of devious pleasure in his eyes.
“Now you will die!” he shouted.
” Wait,” Horris said. “Before we die we would like to offer you a gift to make up for the gator’s suffering.”
” All right,” said the ghost. Horris held up a bottle, unscrewed the lid, “Steak sauce!” Horris yelled then SPLASHED IT ON THE GHOST!
“Ahhaa!” screamed the ghost as the suddenly excited alligators pulled him down on the ground.
“Let’s get out of here!” Horris yelled as he and Bob dropped to the ground and started to run towards the buses.
“Why did you have steak sauce in your pocket?” Bob asked Horris, now safely on the bus ride home.
” I was going to give to the gators,” Horris replied. “Who knew it would save our lives?”
