GHOST S BY MARK ANTONY RAINES
A wet leaf fell on her shoulder making her jump in fear. Startled she shifted from her hiding place behind the bush.
The air was cold;her heart beating like a drum:her anxiety going through the roof .
The wind gathers a pace ;suddenely she hears a crack of a near by tree branch.
She feels sweaty hand place on her shoulder ;this makes her startle .
She turns around.
"Boo"
Oh stop being a pratt John:i dont like playing this game anymore can we go back home"
Jonny a blonde haired;slightly overweight walks off with Jayne a dark haired ;slightly underweight girl back through the woods to the house up the lane.
The house is a little worse for ware and could do with a few things that need mending a good lick of paint and then after this graft it look respectful again.
As Jonny and Jayne enter the house the front door slowly creeks slams shut which echoes around the house like a bad yodal .
Both Jonny and Jayne climb up the stairs each step making a noise similar to squeaking mouse then thier reached the landing .
The nursery door flies open and the babies cot is rocking back and forth ;the chimes hanging by the cot spin around and around; the sound of a baby crying but when you get closer to the cot their is only a doll dressed in baby clothes suckling a dummy.
The floor boards creek at every foot step;a black shadow stands in the corner letting out a maniacal laugh.
Both the children stop dead in thier tracks keeping very still as if turned to stone .
A clock chimes times twelve ;midnight has arrived in the plutonian darkness as all the lights in the house go out at once.
Both children let a ear piercing screaming until no air is left in thier tiny underformed lungs.
Thier skin goes a dull blue colour then suddenly the light s go back on .
'Surprise :Happy Birthday "
Jonny and Jayne let out a huge sigh of relief :thier cheeks get flushed with a bright red.
Jonny and Jayne tell everyone how relieved that it was not ghost s in the house just thier friends giving them a surprise birthday party.
Jonny "I liked the dark shadow creature in the corner ;that was a nice touch "
Jayne said 'My favourite bit was the creepy doll:it made me shiver all over my body "
All the people at the party just looked them in a confused manner.
Finally one of them said.
"What dark shadow :we placed no doll"
Both Jonny and Jayne were stunned and amazed.
In a corner of the room sitting in the darkness of the shadow s sat a raggy:disfigured doll and next to her a dark shadow looked on :both waiting for the party to finish to care on thier haunting.
