Mildly Spooky Lane Wins the Friendliest Street Award

A fictional comedy from CyberBabiez. The characters and events are invented.

The judges expected dramatic fog and unsettling noises. Mildly Spooky Lane offered labeled parking, a cheerful welcome sign, and a ghost who apologized for the breeze.

Zed led the tour. He showed them the shared library, the improved cupboard, and the gnomes enjoying their new view.

One judge asked where the fright was.

The neighborhood treasurer produced the annual meeting agenda. It had nineteen sections.

That'll do, said the judge.

The street won Friendliest Community With Mild Atmospheric Effects. Everyone was pleased, particularly the fog, which rarely received individual recognition.

At the celebration, Zed thanked the neighbors for showing up, even when they forgot why.

The ghost delivered a confident boo. The crowd cheered.

For once, nobody needed to apologize, although the ghost quietly offered to anyway.
