At the end of the hallway...

…It’s just standing there. I-I don’t know what more I can say. It’s just… Standing. It lunges at me. I don’t move, I just move my face to the side. I can feel it’s cold, raspy breath on my face. I let it stay there, I know that if I don’t move, it can’t hurt me. It takes 10 long minutes for it to stop. You may be wondering why I’m so calm about it. The truth is, I know what it is. It feeds off my fear. It can’t really hurt me. It only becomes physical if I show fear to it. If I don’t, all it can do is torture me in my head. But, once again, if I show it fear, it will become solid matter, and not just for me, but for everyone. If I show it fear, we’re all dead. Me, my family, my friends, even people across the world. So, I wait. And I wait. And it transports itself to the end of the hallway. It stares. Even though I can’t see its eyes as of its long black cloak, I still know it’s staring at me. It mutters its last words, at least for now. “I’ll be back” and it fades into thin air.

Pursuit

It stood in the doorway. I began to run. I hadn’t enough time to tell what it was, though I didn’t want to see. I headed straight for the door, but before I could make it, it slammed shut.

I pushed it off and kept running, eventually making it to the stairs. I ran up and headed towards the window. I climbed out and walked out onto the roof above my porch. Suddenly, I heard a noise. I looked behind me. It came down the drain pipe…

Criminal

We were home at last. We just hoped that the police wouldn’t find out. We’d be arrested. But where would we hide it all? I don’t know particularly. We’d better find out soon… If we don’t, we’re in serious trouble… I just hope it doesn’t come to the guns… Now I know why Grandpa gave us these guns, we just hope we never need to use them. But we will if we must. Oh, right! I never told you our names! My name is James and I work with my sister Natalie, as well as my mother and father. I am eleven and my sister is twelve. You may be wondering what’s in the bag, but sadly, you will never know...

My Time in Alcatraz

100 word challenge Did you ever hear about the time I was in Alcatraz? It was midnight on the 1 st of June and I was touring around Alcatraz prison. One of the guards let me check out a cell and after I entered they closed the cell door. As the door slammed I knew they must have thought I was a criminal called ‘Desousito’ who had been on the run for ages. I said “hey I am not the infamous criminal ‘Desousito’. I am innocent! “Nice try ‘Desousito’ you are gonna be in here for twenty years for stealing the diamonds from the queen’s crown” they said. I started crying as I don’t have a lawyer to vouch for me and I reckon I will be here for a while... to be continued
