A House in a Forest

September 19th, 2007

What sort of person lives in this house, and what are they finding a problem?

Arrived at a damp, crooked house in the middle of a dark, spooky, scary forest where the thunder struck and the owls hooted. I was trying to find a way in the house and to my surprise the door swung open. I approached the door slowly and nervously.

When I got in I went as white as a ghost as in the living room there were testubes. Some had frog liver and slug slime; some had people’s eyeballs and dragon intestine. At the corner of the room there was an old, crooked broomstick, and a book. It said Flying a Broomstick for Dummies. On top of the fireplace, on a shelf were black and white pictures.

In the kitchen was a large, black cauldren and beside it was a cooking book. Something was different about this cooking book but I couldn’t put my finger on it, then I realised what it was. The title said how to cook rotten frog. By this time I was nearly sick.

I went into the bedroom. It had piles of clothes, the bed was untidy and it had a smell of mothballs. Well at least it doesn’t have anything sick I said the myself.

It was late at night and I was going to the toilet when I heard a laughing noise, so I scampered away from the damp, spooky, scary house and went home.
