1. The eyes of the night
By Adam
“Hey pass it to me, pass it to me!” screamed Sam. Jake was
determined to score, so with a fierce shot, the ball blasted
like a bullet past the keeper.
“I’ll get the b…?” Sam stopped mid-sentence as he realized
where the ball had landed.
The ball had landed in a small dark garden. It was covered by
a sinister shadow being cast by a large wooden building
somewhat like a haunted house. They climbed over the fence
to get the ball.
“Let’s look inside!” suggested Jake as he picked up the ball.
“I’m not so sure we should be wandering around random
people’s houses,” answered a worried Sam.
“Chicken,” replied Jake. He knocked on the door. There was
no reply. Just as they were about to give up the door opened
with a slight creak…
Cautiously, they crept inside. The door slammed shut behind
them with a BANG which echoed through the air. Suddenly,
there was silence. “AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Both
boys looked up. The noise was coming from upstairs. Quiet as
mice, they tip-toed upstairs. The floorboards creaking with
every step. Once they reached the top it was pitch black.

2. Without warning, there was a flash of light. Two red eyes
glowed brightly in the darkness. They glared at Jake and Sam.
Suddenly it started to move. Getting bigger and bigger and
closer and closer. And then, they strangely vanished into thin
air. The boys were confused. In the distance, Sam could make
out writing. He nudged Jake to get his attention.
They both stared at it. It was written in thick, blood red ink. It
read REDRUM WON. ”What’s that supposed to mean” asked
a puzzled Jake. They continued onwards. As they were
walking though the blackness they could hear faint footsteps.
It gradually got louder.
