Writer in Residence
On the morning of December 4th it was sunny. I brushed my teeth and got dressed. When I went outside I saw a big pink house and the door was open. I stood beside the door and knocked on it but no one answered. So I went in. It was a like a palace and it smelt of perfume. It was a great smell.
I walked over to a door which said Dressing Room. I went in. It was a mess and there were shoes and dresses all over the floor. I picked up a dress, and there was also a diary which said, “Fashion Show on Monday December the 5th”. I was scared because there was red lipstick on the wall. There were fashion magazines on the floor. I went upstairs and there were photographs of models and wool and knitting needles on the floor. The phone was also on the floor, with make-up scattered around.
I went down the stairs into the kitchen and saw photographs of family pets. I saw a piece of paper and it said, “Stock Number 536″. I was getting a bit scared and ran out of the door.

It was Friday the 30th of November 2007. It was snowing. I walked into a large house which was messy but clean. Their stereo was blaring the song ”keep bleeding love” it was getting on my last nerve! So I got a hammer and smashed it to pieces. And it blew up but the house didn’t catch fire (luckily). I looked around the house, it was massive. There was a plasma tv in every room including the bathroom.
I walked up the stairs, there were glittery dancing costumes everywhere, a selection of colours. I took some of them. The costumes led me to a room, I walked in. It was a MESS! Make-up, shoes, clothes,costumes, glitter and cds everywhere. I mean it was a mess but I was in my element. I took the lot.
I ran out that room and went in the next room. It said on the door ”Award Room” . My mouth dropped to my knees. It was full of trophies,certificates and medals, I took some of them too. I went to the next room. I think it was an adult’s room, because there were beer cans and fags all over the place. I didn’t like that room. So I went to the next room. It was full of exercising equipment. I just took a big pink ball and I smashed the room to bits. I went to the last room it said on the door ”Gallery”. I went in, it was full of pictures and paintings and it had chairs and things in it. But one picture caught my eye. It was a baby. It looked like she was laughing. Before I left I smashed the sink and the bathroom flooded. Serve them right! That’s what they get for stealing my things. Ha! Ha!

After school I came back to collect my school bag. Got permission to go upstairs to the class. The classroom door was open, unlocked. Walked into the room. Door closed behind me. School bag was missing, the door was opening. Turned round. White suit, black eyes - a ghost ran under the table. Ghost walked towards the table. Over to the sink to wash his hands.
I found my bag and escaped. I ran out of the classroom and there was another ghost. I ran and ran and ran. The two ghosts ran after me. I saw my friend, “Please Help Me! There are two ghosts running after me ” I said to Keiran my friend in school. “There are ghosts in this school,” and he said “Oh no there isn’t”. “Oh yes there is!” “Okay, you win!” There was not just two ghosts, there were loads on the way down the steps. I saw Stevie. “Why are you running down the steps and on the way down the other steps we saw Liam.
“Why are you running down the steps?” shouted Liam. “Can’t talk!” “Why not ?” said Liam. “Because I am getting chased from ghosts!” “Okay, can I come?” “Okay………Hurry Up!!” “Coming,” shouted Liam. And we all went home.

As I walked through the town my phone started to ring, I answered it and it was my boss telling me to go to a house on the east side to find out if these people had something to do with the Black Market . I didn’t know why he chose me but I went anyway.
It was a small house in need of repair. The white paint on the walls was peeling and a rusty gate had broken off its hinges and lay across the path leading to the door. There was no number on the door. I rearched for the handle, tried to open it and discovered it was unlocked. Although I didn’t have a warrant, I risked it and went inside.
I wassurprised there was no one in, so I headed for the front room. I could see they didn’t really care about the house because wallpaper was peeling off the walls, the carpets were damp and dirty, and the room smelt musty and of stale ash. I could see hundreds of cigarette ends and empty whisky bottles scattered about the floor. On an old and worn coffee table there was a framed photograph of a man and a woman, with wine glasses in their hands, looking drunk, and both had dark rings under their eyes.
Also on the table there were ten piles of cash in fifty pound notes
There was an answer machine on a stand in the corner of the room. I clicked it on and listened to the message. “Have you got the goods yet? if you do meet me at the docks at two.”
I looked at my watch and could see that it was three o’clock. Suddenly the door opened and I knew I was in trouble. Deep trouble.

As I woke up on Christmas morning my mother said ” Oooohhhh nooooo!” “What’s the matter?” I shouted. So I came running down stairs to see what had happened. The presents were missing; the tree was missing too. There was nothing but emptiness. There were pieces of wrapping paper all over the place and I found glass on the floor. I didn’t understand why there was glass on the floor but there was a trail of blood and glass on the floor comming into the kitchen.
As I opened the door suddenly there was my dad dressed up as a Santa with a very big red nose and he said …

There was a car that had been smashed up. The front of it had been all crushed up and it seemed like the car had been abandoned. The windows were smashed and the seats totally wrecked. The boot was open. In the boot there were golf clubs with blood over them. There were also stains of blood over the wrecked seats. There was a massive hole in the car where the radio or cd player would usually be.
People living in that area had heard that the person who drove the car had split up with her husband recently. They had been having a lot of arguments. The lady had found a new boyfriend. Nobody had seen her for weeks and was starting to become suspicious about what had happened. People knew where the lady lived so decided to go and investigate the house.
As they entered the house they saw photographs all over the floor and glass everywhere. In the kitchen there were smashed plates and the kitchen was a total mess. The people thought someone had been in the house and just totally wrecked it. They also thought the person wrecking it had fled in a hurry. They decided to tell the police but a few weeks later the police still hadn’t made much progress. Also the lady or her new boyfriend still hadn’t been seen.

Late one November, it was snowing heavily. A caravan site near Stonehaven was buried in snow.
Artificial flowers hung from a hook attached to an expensive caravan. It was a very well kept caravan and red curtains were blowing from an open window. The door was wide open. In the living room there was a purple sofa bed. Opposite it there was a table with food half eaten on it. There were pictures of a woman and a child beside the window which had a shelf next to it.
In the kitchen the wooden floor was white oak. In the sink were plates and cutlery which were unwashed. The oven hid behind the skirting board. Next to that were a blue cupboard and drawer. There was a dirty mop in a corner.
A bedroom was decorated in different kinds of pinks. In one corner there was an unmade bed.Opposite that was a picture of a little girl. Homework lay scattered on the cream coloured carpet and clothes lay in a pile
In the another bedroom there were drawers, and one of the drawers was open, clothes hung out of it. The bed was a mess. On top of the drawers there was a jewellery box. A few items were missing.
On the bed lay a newspaper which said:”WATCH OUT,BURGLARS ABOUT!”

I came to the house, the door was wide open. When I went in there was a golf club missing and when I went to the master bedroom I saw a missing trophy and the missing golf club with bits of blood on the golf stick with a trail leading to cupboard with a hand sticking out of it. When I went back down I saw a bit of The Sun written ‘DEAD’. When I went to the kitchen I saw a box. When I walked near it, I knew it was a bomb so I quickly escaped from the house and after few minutes the house blow up.

The house had a cold eerie feeling around it though you could see a creepy cupboard in the top right window. Then the silence was broken by screeching car wheels. The doorknob was rusty and scratched. Then the door just slid open and a tiny creek echoed through the house. A little table had a phone saying one new message and a red stain tralied to the kitchen and to the recently used garbage disposla and what looked like decapitated fingers. The stairs were all wobbly. Then I heard a noise like a snivelling tiger. I went to the bedroom red stuff was all over the walls I opened the cupboard I felt sick with what I saw…

I was driving down a country road when I saw an old motor home and pulled over to see it. The door was wide open so I walked in. It smelt of cheap wine and stale beer.
I looked to the right and saw there were smashed wine bottles and lots of blood. I heard a weird noise coming from the toilet. There was screaming. There was a click - the sound of a cassette tape being chewed up. I looked to my left and noticed the TV, CD player and football trophies had been stolen. There was one left; it was a maths trophy. There was a pair of rubber gloves which were covered in blood.
I dashed back outside. My new shiny Red Vauxhall Corsa had been stolen and there were tyre marks leading back to Aberdeen.
