Inktober Day 24: “Good evening,” Sam said. “What brings you out so
late?” But she didn’t answer. Then he said, “May I carry your basket?”
She handed it to him. From under the cloth, a small voice said “That’s
very nice of you,” and that was followed by wild laughter. Sam was so
startled that he dropped the basket– and out rolled out a woman’s head.

Inktober Day 20: They stopped in a restaurant and had breakfast. When
they told the owner where they had stayed, he was shocked. “That can’t
be,” he said. “That house burned to the ground, and the man and woman
who lived there died in the fire.” - Alvin Schwartz
Inktober Day 17: An elderly couple came to the door. They
didn’t rent rooms, they said. But they would be glad to have them stay
overnight as their guests. They had plenty of room, and they would
enjoy the company. -Alvin Schwartz

Day 22: Sam Lewis spent the evening playing chess at his friends house.
It was about midnight when they finished their game, then he started
home. Outside it was icy cold and quiet as the grave.

Day 19: The young couple got up early the next morning before their
hosts had awaken. On the table near the front door, they left an
envelope with some money in it for the room. They went on to the next
town. -Alvin Schwartz

Day 23: As he came around a turn in the road, he was surprised to see a
woman walking ahead of him. She was carrying a basket covered with a
white cloth. When he caught up to her, he looked to see who it was.
But she was so bundled up against the cold, it was hard to see her face.

Day 16: A young man and his wife were on a trip to visit his mother.
Usually they arrived in time for supper. But they had gotten a late
start, and now it was getting dark. So they decided to look for a place
to stay overnight and go on in the morning. Just off the road, they
saw a small house in the woods. “Maybe they rent rooms,” the wife said.
So they stopped to ask. -Alvin Schwartz
Inktober Day 26: soon the head caught up to him. It bounded
into the air and sunk it’s teeth into his left leg. Sam screamed with
pain and ran faster. But the woman and her head stayed right behind.
Soon the head leaped into the air again and bit into his other leg.
Then they were gone. The End. Alvin Schwartz

Day 21: The young couple could not believe it. So they went back to the
house. Only this time there was no house. All they found was a burned
out shell. They stood starting at the ruins trying to understand what
had happened. Then the woman screamed. In the rubble was a badly burned
table, like the one they had seen by the front door. On the table was
the envelope they had left that morning. The End -Alvin Schwartz
Inktober Day 15: “YOU’VE GOT IT!” The End - Alvin Schwartz
