1. The old part of town.
By Daisy and Izzy
Lottie was just walking down a small empty street in
the old a part of town. She was looking after her
toddler brother Tommy. “Come on Tommy teas
nearly ready’’
She looked behind her. He was nowhere in sight she
felt sick with worry. Where could he be?
Suddenly she heard a bell sound. It was a from an
old rundown gift shop. As she approached the shop
door she peered at the sign. The lettering had faded
as the shop got older and older. Dust blinded her
as it shot out the door.
As the dust settled she heard crying. She looked
around the room. She saw a poster. Lottie read it
out loud she said “red rum won’’
She didn’t know what it meant but she had heard of
it before. The cupboard started to wobble it fell on
her. She managed to escape but the end of her
dress got caught. She heard footsteps. She looked

2. up. A strange shadow ran across the area to the
staff only room. The crying got louder.
She tugged and tugged at her dress. Eventually it
came free. Lottie ran to the staff room. She tried to
open the door but it was locked. She kicked the
door and turned around. Then the door opened
slowly. In the darkness she saw her brother sitting
on a small red chair at the large room. He had arms
folded and a pouty look on his face. Lottie ran
towards him and went to hug him. But when the tip
of her pale finger touched Tommy It scolded her.
She took her hand away and gave it a good shake.
His skin started to melt like butter on toast. It was
dripping off the chair onto the cold floor wooden
floor. As quick as a flash she dashed out of the
shop back home.
“Mum Mum” exclaimed Lottie “what is it” said mum
Tommy went missing and and and” “what do you
mean he’s at the table having tea”. She looked at the
table. Tommy was there. He had a pouty look on his
face. From that day on she dared to go near that
part of town again.
