It was a windy and thundery night. There was a bright red Ferrari outside and the driveway was made from pink granite. There was an expensive mansion right behind the driveway. I walked up to the door and noticed that the lock was wonky and had dents on the handle. There was a hammer lying on the ground. The door was half open and I went in. The hall was very big with brightly coloured walls and a table with a very expensive vase on top.
I went into another room. It was the kitchen, and it was very big and had a very large space. The fridge-freezer was on the wall next to the sink. There was a big double oven and a table in the middle.There was a business card with contact details on it and there was also a letter turned upside down. I turned it over and it read ”Hi partner, I really hate you for what you did yesterday, not selling the business for 43 million pounds . I HATE YOU. I don’t want to talk to you ever again.” I put the letter down and walked to the door opposite the table.
It looked like the living room. It was the living room. The sofa was very large and made from leather. There was a plasma screen TV in front of the sofa. There was a big glass coffee table to the rght and to the left there was a staircase.
Up the staircase was a trail of blood that started at the foot of the stairs and went into a room at the end of the landing. I opened the door and saw a black bed with the the curtains closed. I opened the curtains and saw the blood going under the bed.

In the middle of the lonely gravestones stood an old church in the distance. Three people started to walk towards the church while the minister was working in his office. The minister had a little girl called Amanda and he promised she could have two friends for a sleepover in the church. So she picked her best friends, Natalie and Lisa.
The church was very poky and cold. They went outside, and along the dark, cold street to their houses to get their stuff for having a sleepover. They got torches and teddies and clothes and walked back along the cold and long street and returned to the church again.
It was getting late so they started to get into their sleeping bags, and got out their teddies and their torches ready for a scary night. The wind and the rain was making it even scarier than it was before it had started raining. They went up the big and scary winding stairs to a door that had a box next to it. On it was a note saying, ”Key to the right”.
So the three girls went to the right door and fell through an invisible door. It was a room that had big long cobwebs and scary spiders, big black bats, dusty pews, boxes, and in one of the boxes there was a big green-faced snake. As the snake slithered its way towards them, the three girls ran out of the door and back down the winding stairs and to tell the minister about what had happened, and what they had seen. But when the minister got up to the top of the stairs and went into room, there was nothing there except a big box.

Dear Diary
I woke up one Monday morning and went out and shovelled all the snow from the neighbourhood paths. I did it all week, but the one on Gordon Street was hard. I walked up the steep path and shovelled the snow away. I broke into a million tears as my cold, crisp fingers stuck to the shovel, even though I was wearing gloves. I finally finished shovelling snow around the mansion. When I got home it was 11:30.
My mum said to me, “The cheque from them up at the mansion hasn’t come through yet. We need that money to pay for the bills and electric, and to get food and drink, or we won’t get through the winter.”
“I will go up to the mansion tomorrow and get the cheque from them,” I said.
The next morning I got to the mansion all ready to shovel snow again, but it was all gone. I walked up the steep hill and into the mansion. The first room I entered was the living room. There were five beautiful dogs lying there, sleeping.
I opened the door a bit further and saw a TV, DVD and video, and a big tall tree with a star on the top. I looked around and saw a high chair bouncer and baby toy. I slowly left the living room and went into the dining room.
There was a big long table with a table cloth and china plates, very shiny spoons, forks and knives, and Christmas candles in the centre of the table. Above the table was a chandelier. It was amazing.
I walked up a twisting staircase and into a bedroom. There were lots of trophies but I couldn’t see what they were for. And there was an awful whiffy smell. I looked round the side of the door and saw a dirty kit, all covered in mud. Yuk!
I went into another room and discovered it was the baby’s room. He was sleeping in his cot and there was more baby stuff everywhere. I walked into another room. It was the toilet, and the bath looked like a hot tub, and there was a shiny toilet seat and shiny taps. I looked out of the window and there was a hot tub and lots of grass and flowers. It was beautiful.
I came out of the toilet and went into the last room. The people were in here. I thought I will ask them for the cheque. I wiped the sweat off my head and went in. They were sleeping. I stepped on a squeaky toy and it made a loud squeak. The people woke up and gave out a little scream, but no too loud in case they woke up the baby.

Can you guess who lives in this castle?
It was a cold, dark winter’s night. Every so often, the sky was lit by forks of lightning which made the old castle on the hill stand out against the dark.
The castle was very old. The walls were three metres thick and made of granite. They were thirty metres high. The only way in was through the huge wooden door with iron bars running down it.
The door led to the castle’s great hall. The floor was covered with wooden planks which looked as though they had come from a ship. Some of the planks looked as though they had African names carved into them. They looked like African signs and symbols.
On the walls were African masks with thousands of different colours and symbols on them. There were also African shields and spears. There was a space where a spear had been removed. In the corner was a display cabinet. The glass had been broken and items removed. The signs in the cabinet showed that it had contained a whip, a rope and manacles
The ceiling was painted with a large map of Africa showing sailing routes between Africa, Britain and America.
In the opposite side of the great hall from the display cabinet was a raised stage with a curtain drawn across it. The missing spear was lying at the foot of the stage. Its point was bright red – with blood. There was something lying against the curtain, tied with the manacles and the rope….

At the end of a small village stood a little cotage with loads of flowers in the front garden. The front door of the house was a brown colour and the knobs were gold and shone in the sun. Inside you could only hear a tick, tock, tick, tock.
The living room was quite unusual. The sofas were bright pink with light-blue cushions or dark blue with red cushions. Then only things not unusual about it was a wedding photos and loads of pictures of a baby. The walls were pink and blue, the carpet was pink and even the TV was pink.
The kitchen was quite normal compared to the living room. There was only one stange thing and that was the tap that had been left running. There was a calendar on the wall, and it was marked the 11th september 2007, and beside it the words “GO TO GRAVES TO MOURN”.
In the main bedroom was a double bed with red and blue covers and light-blue pillows. There was a cupboard beside the door. The clothes inside it were quite stylish.
In the other bedroom was a baby’s cot, and there were loads of toys on the floor. There was a chest in the corner of the room with more toys in it.

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.

Can you work out what sort of person lives in this cottage and what is they might be doing at this very moment?
I arrived at a small cottage. As I walked in I saw an 80th birthday card and some walking sticks. I entered the first room. It was the living room. On the table was a checkers board and some checkers pieces. There was also a happy birthday sign on the wall.
I looked out the window and saw the front garden. The lawn was covered in snow and all the flowers were dead. I opened the window. I heard birds twittering and a tractor in a field and a town in the distance.
I saw another door, it led to the kitchen. There were some more birthday cards and a piece of peper on the worktop saying ‘Eggs, cheese and milk.’ I figured it was a shopping list. I guessed the person was out shopping and had forgotten it. There was also an oven, a kettle and a toaster and some cupboards, some were open, some had food and some had pots and pans in them.
There was a back door as well. So I went out, but it was cold so I came straight back in. I went back to the front door and went upstairs. There was a door open. I went in the door. It had a single bed in the middle of the room and a cupboard full of clothes and a pair of shoes. There was also a newspaper on the bedside table. I looked at my watch; it was time to go.
