As I walked down the street a house catches my eye. The door is wide open, I step inside, I see pictures of the moon and stars. Upstairs there is a telescope pointing directly at the astonomy centre. I rember there’s a conference there at 3′oclock, finishing at 3:15 but it’s 4 o’clock. I looked out at the newly autum sun. I’m confused, where is he?

I was called out to the country. There was a cottage with its door wide open. I walked in to see what it was like. I walked into the kitchen. I turned to the right because a can of baked beans fell from the counter. Then something from the left caught my eye; it was a scullery maid dress placed onto the back of the dinning room chair. On the table there was a spray and some dusters left lying around. The house was extremely and excessively tidy! I walked into the living room there was of paper flying around everywhere. One bit flew over my foot. I picked it up. It read “Penelope Cruise”. Awful car crash “.
I looked out the open window. There was a car crash with two cars smashed together like a jigsaw puzzle. As I turned I saw a beautiful picture of a lady wearing lovely liac pearls around her neck.

I walked in the house and there was not a sound. The house was DESERTED. The livingroom door was open, with two gorgeous, dazzling costumes hanging over it. There was a big suitcase on the black, shiny, leather suite, half packed! On the modern coffee table lay a letter in pink paper. The neat swirly writing said “PLEASE DONT DO THIS WE CAN WORK THIS OUT”. Next to it was my Mum’s three, diamond,white silver wedding ring. Across the room beside all the sparkling trophies and medals on the wall, lay a smashed photo frame with a picture of my mum and dad. I went through to the kitchen and on the silver fridge there was a calendar with today’s date circled, saying ” Big meeting don’t be late 3.30″ TH

One sunny day the mansion was very hot; hot as the sun. I smashed the door in and walked slowly into the bedroom. I saw a flat screen tv on the floor all in pieces. I went though to the gamesroom and kicked the leg of the pool table and it broke. A gun fell out to the ground. I decided to investigate further. In the next room I saw that it had been totally trashed. In the far corner on the bedside cabinet lay an Aberdeen football season ticket dated for today.The time on the ticket was 3pm but it was now 5pm. What could have happened here?

Manchester Mansion is all posh. It is usually filled with happiness and smiles. Today it was dull and empty. No one was around. I walked into the livingroom. There was glass on the floor, water spilled all over. The room smelt like horse radish. I left the living room when I heard a creek. As I was away to walk into the kitchen I heard a whimper, so I ran straight into the kitchen. There was a black glove left lying on the the floor, along with thick muddy footprints. I followed the foot prints to the back door, but they faded into nowhere. A knife with red stains, and a string of black hair was left lying on the microwave.
Whoever came to the Brady’s family house had trashed the place. Something happened that day. I classified the Brady family as MISSING!!.

I was driving round west Liverpool when I heard a miaow and a crash from an upstairs flat. When I went in I saw some size 4 football boots and a big brown jacket. I knew they couldn’t belong to the same person because of the sizes. I walked into the kitchen and saw a newspaper report with the title “Blue or Red?” On the wall there were Everton posters above a small T.V. on standby. A broken vase lay on the floor in the hall and there were scratches on the door, so I knew they had a pet cat. On the mantlepiece I saw football trophies and a football lay on the floor. I decided that I should leave as it wasn’t my property, so I quickly walked back to my car.
