This was a great poem, it read perfectly and I did not notice any errors, it could be a true situation, kids enjoy the thrill of rides, for some who get older their bodies and minds would not tolerate it

You've built up the suspense nicely. Our imaginations are often much more frightening than reality and you captured that sentiment beautifully. Good luck in the contest!

Very well written. One can feel the boys' terror as the ride progresses and the darkness becomes thick and absolute. At least they came out safely! Best wishes for your entry.

Some of those Halloween houses can be really frightening. When we were young, we enjoyed the scary frightening movies and houses, too. Now I can bypass these kinds of features very easy.

good story and believable dialogue - of course, it would be with your having managed a spook house. AND, you fooled me. I thought something really was going to happen to them.
I bet you saw many a funny instance in your spook house.
Good entry.

Hi there,

I think you did a great job with this piece. Fits to competition to a 'tee' as they say. The imagination is always more terrifying than what you can see.

Good job

Technically Frankenstein didn't have the scars but his monster did...

    Thank you so much for this review. You are absolutely right... the doctor had no scar that we know of. You gave me a much needed chuckle.

This was a great story, you had me sitting on the edge of my chair. I just knew something horrible was going to happen to those two kids. This seemed real. You are a great story teller. And thank you for posting. Have a great day.

This is great. I agree that it's what you can't see that is the most terrifying. I remember watching a kid's movie, "The Dark Crystal" and the monster was much more frightening before it was actually shown to the audience. Good luck in the contest.

You did a great job with this writing prompt! I was scared for your characters, not knowing what would befall them on the ride. I loved the ending! Good luck in the competition, and keep up the good work.
