Enter our Halloween story contest about the Fire
Witch!!
We all know that witches are
not real but objects of fantasy. But, in keeping with
the Halloween season, let's play "What if?" Write your
story about the Glendale Fire Witch standing in
the burning window of the mill. The mill burned on
March 20, 2004 and was expertly photographed by Mr.
Terry Gilmer. Answer such questions such as -Who
was she? - Why was she in the window? - Did she start
the fire or was she trying to put it out? - Where did
she come from or was she from Glendale? Use
your imagination and make your story original!

competition for students and another for adults.
Maximum length for the story is 1,000 words.
Stories must be received by Halloween Day, October
