An Unexpected Gift- By Nayt Snyder

Genre: Short story, Horor


Q12: What is an exciting or horrifying or sad or funny part of what you have read?


The story was about death who goes and visits a family at christmas and they are opening presents, than the little boy of the family can see death and asked him questions like How come you didn't get any Cwissmass pwesents, Mista?" The little boy and death have a conversation and the little boy gives death his tasseled hat. Death new that the grandpa was going to get hurt so he told the little boy ,''Your grandfather is going to go upstairs in a few minutes. He forgot one of the presents up there. You should help him with it, otherwise he may fall and hurt himself." Death leaves than after 13 years he comes back to the family but the grandpa is dead. The boy remembers death and he puts a note next to three embroidered mittens and in the note he writes ''To the man whom I gave my tasseled hat:
Thank you for the extra time with my Grandfather. Please take him home safely.''  When death reads that message he is with the Grandpa of the boy. I Found the part with the boy seeing death quit horrifying.

Elements of the genre horror are supernatural creatures, Ghost, fantasies, science fiction

Elements of the genre horror used in this story is ghost, (people who are in the underworld).

After reading this I have learned that people still remember thing even if the event had occurred a long time ago, or if the person past away. 




When the boy sees death.
