10 Words Essay???

"Ten words are not enough for a very spooky sentence."

Does this works? I don't know. Writing a 10 words essay is not that easy as you thought. To contain every element in just 10 words had me brain-storming for almost an hour. I even went to search for some horror stories for inspirations but apparently I couldn't shorten everything into 10 words so I just came up with something that isn't spooky at all.

Apparently my idea that ended in 10 words are somehow weird :

"Weird. I did not touch that spooky statue. It glares."

and the 11 words idea which aren't spooky at all:

"Tell the children to avoid the spooky monster in the closet."

Am I right? Ten words are not enough for a very spooky sentence.
