The Scared Ghost - A story for you to finish!

The Scared Ghost




 A long time ago, in the rainforest lived a ghost. There was also a t-rex living in the rainforest. The ghost was the t-rex’s neighbor. The ghost lived in a big wall of stones. It felt safe in its stone wall, but it was really scared of the t-rex.


 Whenever he saw the t-rex he would turn ghostly pale. That’s more pale than even a ghost normally is. He would turn so pale he would become visible! (Ghosts are normally invisible.)


             The t-rex lived in a mansion made out of trees and sticks. He was really strong and created the mansion himself. He didn’t know that an invisible, friendly ghost lived next to him.


        One day the ghost decided to try to talk to the T-rex. The invisible ghost went to find the t-rex, but the t-rex was not in his mansion. He was hunting for food.


    The ghost walked into the t-rex’s mansion. His invisible heart almost left his chest, he was so nervous. He glides into the toothium. In case you don’t know, t-rex’s have a LOT of teeth. They spend an immense amount of time cleaning their teeth. Unlike you and me, they have a whole room devoted to teeth cleaning, called a toothium.


    What does he see in this room? He comes face to face with a model t-rex mouth with real teeth. “Ahh” screams the ghost. He is so scared, he become visible.


Who should walk in at that moment, but the real t-rex. This is no model! It had claw like short arms and massive jaws that opened and shut. “Snap, snap, snap!”

"Who are you?" screamed the t-rex. "How dare you come in my house! Especially my toothium." Even though the t-rex was putting on a big show of being mad, he was actually quite frightened. 

The ghost, of course, was visible pale. It ran out of the toothium and right through its stone wall. The t-rex followed him to try and chase him away.

He  ran into the wall of the house. "Owch that hurts. Where is that ghost?"

The ghost came out and said, "can we talked together?" And they talked. And they talked. As it turned out, they decided to become friends and they both lived as neighbors happily ever after!

    This is a great story Mateo! I think that the t-rex was very angry to see the ghost in his mansion. However it turned out that he was also afraid of ghosts and he didn't realize that it was a friendly ghost. The t-rex starting running away but the ghost caught up with him and they talked and discovered they have a lot in common. This is how they became friends!

    Keep up the creative work!

  2. Wow Mateo,
    You not only have a great imagination but also the ability to tell an interesting story that I wanted you to finish! You really have a knack for plot and twists and turns! I will think about an ending but hope you will finish it so I can see where your imagination took the story. Well done!!

  3. This is one of the most creative stories I've ever read - by an author of any age!

    How delightful to put a ghost in a story with a t-rex. You are bringing two very different elements together here: the para-normal and the prehistoric.

    And you do this with skill....by having a ghost who turns visible when scared, by having his "invisible heart" almost leave his chest, and by giving the t-rex actual sounds: "snap, snap, snap!"

    Asking the reader to come up with an ending adds a final creative twist.

    I wonder if you see yourself being a writer as an adult, and if so, what kind of writer do you want to be?

    Please keep writing!

  4. Hi Mateo. What a great story! I love the idea of the reader finishing the story. That's a great way to engage the reader. Also, the idea of a toothium is so original and creative. You have a great imagination and your writing displays that. I laughed when I read that the ghost turned even more pale than normal. Keep writing, because your ideas are fun to read.
