It was dark and creepy by the campfire where Jonas and his friends were huddled. They were telling ghost stories and trying to make each story scarier than the last. Suddenly, they heard a loud crack in the woods. "What's that?" whispered Jonas. He didn't want to admit it, but he was really scared now. He could see a large shadowy figure holding a knife. "Thought you might want to toast some marshmallows," Jonas' father quietly said as he stepped into the light of the fire. He held up a bag of marshmallows in one hand and metal skewers - not a knife - in the other. Jonas and his friends were relieved. His father taught the group how to make s'mores, and they enjoyed the rest of the night.
