62 Siren Place

September 28th, 2007

Can you tell us who lives in number 62 and what’s happened to them?

The exterior door was closed. The doorbell was jammed and the buzzing of the security system was iritatingly annoying. The pattern on the door was like an item a hypnotist would use and the windows were amazingly beautiful.

As you walked in you suddenly realised that the house was quiet apart from the rattling from the water feature. In the entrance hall there was a fountain, a transparent glass sculpture and a tropical fish tank all in one and if that didn’t catch your eye the stairs did. On one half of the U-shaped stairs were glass, light oak and metal and on the other side was wood and shiny brass. But the biggest eyesore of them all was the kitchen.

The kitchen was the biggest room in the house. On one of the worktops lay a banner that said on it JUST MARRIED. Next to it a wedding picture lay and a note stuck onto the worktop that said: Gone to Barbados for honeymoon. See you all in three weeks”. Every time somebody read it strange noises started coming from upstairs. Whatever it was it sounded like a cat being strangled to death.
