The House

        With the other boys close on his heels. Sam advanced into the humungus house.

        As soon as they entered the the age-old stricken house, Sam and the boys were greeted with a terrible stench. The gutted wood and broken furniture in the reception were covered with ancient dust. Dead weeds were creeping all over from the old and faulty pipe lines making a honey comb of gruesome wines. Cracked ceiling and hideous holes appeared as if the were there since the dawn of time, which reeked of stagnant water and ancient dirt. In the center there was antique chandelier made of broken glass hanging precariously from the centre of the shabby roof. All over there were broken marble pillars with horrendous looking statues and ghastly carvings on the primeval walls. There was a sudden stillness about the room with feint light evoking from the melted candles.

        A deteriorating spiral stair case wound its way up to the shabby and ill decorated rooms. Alarmingly and stealthily the boys slowly made their way up this dangerous pathway. The bathrooms were broken and the rats had made it their heaven. The rooms had cobwebs and cockroaches lurked in the dusty and stale corners.  A dull and gloomy light passed through the shattered windows.

        Further they made their way through the dark and dreary corridor. It was a long and pitch dark corridor which looked like an abyss  as the end could not be seen. Large, decayed paintings of dangerous looking pirates that stared harshly back at us and looked almost alive and we treaded upon a moth ravaged rug, reeking with a morbid stench of blood. Suddenly a chilling shriek tore through the eerie night.

        The boys felt shadows lurking about them and they ran down the stairs without a backward glance. As soon as they entered the courtyard. Thudding sounds started echoing through the house. Sam and the boys were petrified with chilling sounds and lies king shadows and deathly hallows so they all ran and made their way out of the haunted house
