What Lay Within...
Once upon an era, there was a girl called Meadhbh and she lived with her mother and her brother. Her father died when she was none other than six months old. Therefore, her mother was left with two very young children to look after, fend for and rare, even though she was not much more than a child herself. However, even though Meadhbh did not know her father she felt his presence in her life was missing. She knew there was a gap in her life that somehow she had to find a way to fill. One day after a very long period of time she decided to visit the graveyard in which her father's grave lay. However, what she found was not what she had anticipated and her life soon changed in a very dramatic way.
The graveyard was an unusual one though. It used to be a playground for children at a point but as Meadhbh grew older she realised it was the playground attached to her father's primary school. There was a spook about this graveyard and very few people knew about. Every time Meadhbh walked past the graveyard she heard children's voices screaming, laughing, chatting, singing and generally the sound of music from young children. However, this was something that had driven Meadhbh away from visiting her father's grave but the time had come for her to face her fears and so she made her way through the meadows at the rear of her house and strolled on towards the home of her father's body.
