This is my entry for this year's contest. I created a riddle in a story for my entry. The two things each reader needs to figure out are 1) What is Hank, an animal or a human? (easy) and 2) What was Hank's costume? (harder) I hope you enjoy my rhyming story!

HANK’S HALLOWEEN COSTUME
By Ken Major
Hank’s costume was bright
On Halloween night.
It glowed in the dark
And blinked with each bark.
Equipped with two wings
And hidden round things,
He traveled with speed
On sugary feed.
His tail was unique
And looked oh so sleek.
The costume below
Had places to stow
More goodies for fuel
And drinks to stay cool.
When strangers came near
Goosebumps would appear,
All over their skin
From shin to their chin.
Hank ended his night
With one unkind fright.
He spooked a black cat
Who’s name was Sedat.
A WOOF and a YAP,
Then Hank took a nap.
