The Mystery Church

November 4th, 2007

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.
