It was a bare flat, scruffy and dirty, but two things stood out the most: a massive TV set and a sparkling 24 carat gold watch. Hanging on the wall was a lottery ticket saying, “Winner!” Beside it was a picture of a man getting a seven million pound cheque.
The light was flickering on and off. The battered door hung off its hinges, making a creaking noise, and a horrible smell wafted in from the kitchen. In the kitchen, the blackened stove was still on, burning little bits of meat inside.
Through a crack in a broken cupboard door there was a half-open box. Gleaming jewellery hung out of it. Next to the cupboard a calendar was pinned to the wall, and the date of the sixth of August was circled with a red marker pen, and inside it said, “Friend’s stag night party.”
On the scratched dining table there was a colourful brochure about how to drive a Ferrari, and beside it there were papers waiting to be signed, with a credit card lying on top.
A hole in the ceiling dripped water onto the stove, making a sizzling noise, and upstairs a banging noise came from the bathroom. Inside the bathroom a man was bound to pipes, muttering the word, “Help!” repeatedly, and a crowbar lay beside him.
He was a young man of about 24, dressed in smart leather shoes, a blazer, striped tie, black trousers, and a belt with a shiny, golden buckle. A cold draught blew in through the open window and the sound of a police siren in the distance was getting louder and louder.

In the busy city of New York there lies an underground warehouse. On the corrugated steel roof you can hear rain drops pelt down like bullets. The storm outside draws closer and closer like something trying to torment you.
Inside the warehouse there is a huge stack of bills and complaints but the top one reads: ‘don’t do it John it’s not worth it’. To the nearest wall there is a calendar with a bold blood red x on the 21st of september

The door was open and the man looked in very carefully at the very clean kitchen. He looked around at everything and he knew that there was no one there because there was no sound. So he looked around the house to see what there was. He looked into a wardrobe in the very clean bedroom and he found photos of whoever lived there, cookery books, chef hats and awards.The owner of the house came back from his famous restaurant and saw that all of his belongings were smashed up. He was mad and he phoned the police and they caught the man who smashed everything, and he had to pay for the stuff he smashed.

It was a flat. In the lock there was half a key still in it. It smelt of alchool. There was a red bag with papers in it. The tele was on stand by. There was a picture of him fishing and a few fishing rods with red marks. Through in the kitchen there letter mangets saying “must pay bills”. There was a drawer open it was the cutlery drawer. There was a knife on the ground. There was muddy foot prints coming from the front door. The bins at the flat had been racked in. There was a hand in the bin. Through in the bedroom there was unicyle on the wall and a picture of him at the circus.There was a mirror and and drawers with make-up. At the shed there was half a bike and humongous shoes. There was flowers but no flower pot……………….

In the city of Liverpool is a very famous house which everybody wishes they could live in. As you walk into the house everything seems normal until you reach upstairs. Normally on the wall hangs a signed Pele shirt but today it is missing along with a captain’s arm band, which were framed, as they were from a cup final. These are irreplaceable because there is only one in the world.
