Hello again, Story Club members.

I'm Ivy, your ghostly host with the most, and keeper of the strangest,

spookiest tales on earth.

Today is another Ivy's chilling tale, and it comes from my beloved listener, Mikey, who's all the way down in New Zealand.

Hi, Mikey.

Today's tale is one that Mikey and I call Dino Time.

If there are dinosaurs in this story, I already know I'm going to be scared.

Roar!

Twelve-year-old Gem chased after her little sister,

eight-year-old Hartley,

pretending to be a ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex.

Hartley screamed, tears forming in her eyes.

Oh, she hated when Gem pretended to be a dinosaur.

She hated dinosaurs.

They were all so big and scary and had scales and pointy teeth.

Hartley didn't even like lizards.

Gem knew this and didn't care.

Ugh, typical big sister.

The girl's grandmother had told the sisters to play outside in the backyard.

Gem took that to mean time to antagonize Hartley.

Well, this time, Hartley was sick of it.

So she decided to run away.
