The Problem

Creeping slowly, the two boys entered the musty room. The temperature dropped as they edged closer towards the dust-covered fireplace. Sam held out a trembling finger and pointed towards the painting on the wall.

“What’s that?” his voice wavered.

“Just a painting,” replied James, “nothing to be scared of.”

Suddenly a high pitched wail echoed around the room. It shook the ornaments in their cases and the paintings banged against the wall.

“Run for it!” screamed Sam.

The two boys rushed towards the open doorway, but as they got closer it slammed shut, leaving them trapped and alone.

Clutching on his friend’s arm, Sam’s terrified gaze fell upon the painting on the wall.

“Did I just see its eyes moving?” whimpered Sam.

“Wh . .what . . what’s happening?” came James’s frightened response.

“Is there somebody there?”

A loud, mocking laugh boomed out from the painting above the fireplace. The ghostly figure in the portrait turned to face them and its eyes opened wider.

“I have been expecting you,” said the strange figure.

Build Up

They stood in the grand, dusty hall and gasped. It was dimly lit and smelt like mould. They looked up the spiral, broken staircase. It was dark and gloomy. Sam flicked the switch with desperation but the lights did not work. Suddenly, there was a loud wail coming from upstairs. They jumped with fear. What could it be?

The Abandoned House

Sam and James dashed through the rainstorm becoming more and more drenched with every step.  Suddenly, they saw a large house ahead. Sam pointed towards it and shouted but his voice was drowned out by a huge boom of thunder.  As they got nearer the house they could see it had been abandoned for years.  The paint was peeling from the woodwork and the windows were cracked the door was hanging from its hinges and tiles were missing from the roof but they were soaked through to their skin and decided the house would make the perfect place to shelter from the storm.

5 Fiddle Playing

There was a girl who played her fiddle in the morning, at noon and at night.  She played her fiddle to babies sleeping in their cradles.  She played her fiddle by candlelight.  She played her fiddle in the middle of the crowds that were huddled and she even played while standing in the middle of puddles.  But this strange girl could not handle playing her fiddle on stage.
