How Hannah Saved Halloween

A wicked storm blows out the lights
up and down the street.
With costumes set, the children fret,
“They’ll cancel trick-or-treat.”
Except for hopeful Hannah who,
as always, starts to plan,
certain she will find a way
to shift from can’t to can.
She first imagines fireflies,
“Too scattered to control.”
She next considers candlelight.
“Too hard to hold and stroll.
Aha!” she says as goosebumps form.
“A perfect resolution!
We’ll use my sticks that glow-in-the-dark
for lighting substitution!
I’ll ride throughout the neighborhood,
deliver while it’s bright,
then everyone can still collect
their goodies when it’s night.

This is an entry for the amazingly generous Susanna Leonard Hill’s 11th Annual Halloweensie contest. The rules are to write a Halloween story in 100 words or less (not including the title) for children ages 12 and under, and to include the bolded words. Your story can be in prose or in rhyme.
