The House of Scary Ghosts and Skeletons

By: Lasith Kulasekara (2013)

Once upon a time, in a dark cellar lived 6 ghosts and 4 Skeletons.

“What shall we do tonight?” said Skeleton 1.

“I know, let’s get our scary monster book and look for monsters that we have not seen before,” said Skeleton 4.

“Come on guys, let’s go,” said Ghost 2.

They went up the dark staircase to the dark street. The skeletons were flying on top of the ghosts. They were looking for a big, three eyed alien. The skeletons and ghosts didn’t know what it looked like.

“We’ve entered a small city,” said Ghost 4.

“There is the alien that we’ve been looking for,” said Skeleton 2.

“Let’s take a photo,” said Ghost 4.

Let’s go home, print this photo and put it in our book of scary monsters,” said Ghost 2.

Where’s our house?” said Skeleton 3.

“I don’t know,” said Skeleton 1.

They kept on going.

They decided to scare someone.

“Roar!” said Skeleton 4.

“Aaargh!” said Jacob and Nick.

“What’s your name?” said Ghost 1.

“Mine’s Jacob,” said Jacob.

Mine’s Nick,” said Nick.

 “Bye,” said Nick and Jacob.

“Bye,” said the ghosts and skeletons.

“Look, there’s our house on the other side of the road,” said Ghost 6.

“It’s almost morning, we’ve got to go to sleep,” said Ghost 5.

We’re nocturnal,” said Skeleton 4.

They went to sleep. During the day, many people, buses, cars, vans, trucks, bikes and scooters went past their house.

At dusk, when the sun was setting and the moon was rising the amount of vehicles and people were getting lower and the ghosts and skeletons woke up at 6:30pm.

“What shall we do tonight?” said Ghost 5.

“I know, let’s go to the park,” said Skeleton 1.

What shall we do in the park?” said Skeleton 3.

I know, let’s play on the swings,” said Ghost 4.

They all played on the swings. A person, a child and a dog came into the park. The skeletons sprayed the dog and the child with skeleton spray. After a while the dog and the child were skeletons.

 “The dog and the child are on our team,” said Skeleton 4 and Ghost 6.

What’s your name?” said Ghost 3.

“My name is Arabelle and this is my pet dog Browser,” said Arabelle.

When they got home they saw a picture of Mt Alan, which was an inactive volcano on the wall. They looked at the time; it was 9:05pm.

“Let’s go to Mt Alan,” said Skeleton 5.

They went up the dark staircase and flew out to the dark street. Mt Alan was 53km away from their house. After 10km they went through a big city.

“We’re almost at Mt Alan,” said Ghost 6.

“Then let’s hurry up,” said Arabelle.

“There’s Mt Alan,” said Skeleton 4.

“Let’s take a picture and write facts about it,” said Skeleton 1.

They took a picture and wrote 10 pages of facts about it.

“Let’s go home,” said Skeleton 2.

There was 53km.

”That was a long trip,” said Skeleton 3.

“Look at the time its 6:35am, we’ve got to go to sleep,” said Ghost 3.

While they were sleeping many cars, trucks, people, bikes, scooters, vans, buses, jeeps and taxis went past their house. When the ghosts and skeletons woke up they realised that this night was a busy night. They had to clean the floor, dust the dust and scrub the roof. They were finished in time.

“That’s a lot of hard work,” said Arabelle.

“It is,” said Skeleton 2.

It was midnight when they looked at the clock.

“I think we’d rather have a rest after all this hard work,” said Skeleton 4.

They had a big rest.

THE END!
