I am a word with two meanings. With one I can be broken, with the second I hold on. What am I?
Tie. A tie score can be broken, but when you tie a knot (as in a necktie) it holds together.

Death.

There are two meanings to me. With one I may need to be broken, with the other I hold on. My favorite characteristic is my charming dimple. What am I?
A tie.
In the day I stand tall in a white petticoat. By evening I’m in my short black dress. What am I?
The wick of a candle.
I am one of very few, perhaps the only one, to look like what I represent. What am I?
The word ‘bed’, which looks like an actual bed. The ‘b’ is the headboard, the ‘e’ is the mattress and the ‘d’ is the foot board.
If you know of another word that looks like the object it represents, add it in the comments.

On a dark, stormy Halloween night, four kids named Luke, John, Sarah and Bob walk into a haunted house during a blackout. Only one can escape. They take a staircase to the second floor, a trapdoor on the left, then go up the ladder to the right, followed by a 28-foot slide to the basement through the mouth of a Giant Panda. In one corner of the murky cellar is a chainsaw, a dagger, a rope with a noose and an electric chair. Written on the wall in blood are the words, “Only one will survive – choose your death!” Bob takes the rope, Sarah picks up the dagger, John chooses the chainsaw and Luke uses the chair.
Who survives?
Luke, because there’s no power (it’s during a blackout).

Never resting, never still,
What am I?
