THE LADY IN THE HALL

I wrote this story in grade six...

"Good news family! We sold the house!" Said my father.

"When are we moving?" asked Cory.

"Tomorrow!" He replied excitedly.

The next day came and I was so surprised! The doors of the new house were falling off, the siding was brown and falling off and the windows were broken! Man you should have seen the attic! Man, I loved the old house, but this house was cool!

By nine o'clock everything was unpacked and the family went to bed. I got the attic as my room.

"Click, click, click, click....." I heard something in the hall.

"Mom? Is that you?"I called out

"Mooooo........" Moaning. I hate moaning. I decided to go and see what it was.

"Mom?" I called out.

"Sara is that you?" said a deadly voice. I was so scared that I ran back up to my room.

That morning, I asked my mom if she had heard anything last night, and she said "Yes the man who used to own the house said that his daughter was friends with a ghost..." She paused to take a sip of coffee.

"I guess the ghost is sad."

Later I knew just what to do. I called the previous owner's daughter to come to my house. So she did.

"I want you to take your friend home." I commanded her.

"Okay," Sara said.

"KellAnna? It's me, Sara!"

"Is it really you?" The ghostly voice called.

"Even come and see!" Sara said.

T
hen a ghostly figure came flying out. They lived on......

That night everything was going perfect. Then all of a sudden...

"Noah? Are you there?" A ghostly voice called out. All night I heard moaning and groaning...

THE END!!!
TO BE CONTINUED...

I never did continue this story, but I may do so in the future...

This is great! I love that she called the girl to come take the ghost home with her.
This reminds me a bit of a kids story about a monster in the closet who doesn't want to hurt anyone, he's just lonely, so the kid decides to stop being afraid and let the monster crawl into bed with him.

I guess your story just made me think of that because the ghost is like the monster, probably just missed its friend, wasn't going to hurt anyone.

You should totally finish this story, I want to hear about all the other ghosts in the house!

Sometimes, unfinished stories are the best kinds of stories. Think of them as spring boards. Great job...

I really liked this. I think the ending is perfect. Ends it on a funny note, like "here we go again."

You're a great writer. Keep it up!
