This is like watching the movie, "The Sixth Sense." You had watch it twice to see what clues you missed the first time around and then you kick yourself because it was so obvious that the character is a ghost.
Well done.
Best of luck in the contest.

Oh my goodness! I really didn't see that coming. The bad news, she passed. The good news, she was perfect for Halloween. This was a feel good Halloween story until you caught on. Then I felt a shiver. Good luck in the contest. Gretchen

Was she in a lobby? Or her own living room? I guess she became a ghost? So what happened between the young Sadie and the middle-aged Sadie? It's sad she missed out in life.
Best wishes in the contest!

    I didn't want to use hallway twice so close together. I wanted to keep the story short. Maybe I can use a transitional paragraph if it's not clear. ???

    Thank you, big sister. Have a wonderful weekend.

    Love

    In prose, you don't have to worry about repeating words. If it's the same place, it helps to let the reader know it's the same place. A lobby is like in a hotel's general waiting and check-in area.

""What a hell ... okay, more candy for me."

On her way back to the sofa, she looked at the hallway mirror and gasped in horror. She didn't see her reflection, just an empty lobby.", ha, ha, ha this was so funny. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Thank you for sharing this Halloween contest entry with us. Poor Sadie had died. It was a great twist to the story. I figured something was wrong when you switched to Tommy and Ellie, but I didn't figure it out. Good luck with the contest.
