To celebrate Halloween, Stage 3 listened to 2-sentence horror stories, then had a go at writing their own. Here are our creepy tales. Disclaimer: do not read right before you to go bed!
I asked my Mum, “Who built the cemetery across the road?” She looked at me blankly and said, “What cemetery?” – Tyson
I saw my little sister in my room, laughing. Then I remembered she had died 4 years ago… – Tyson
I was home alone and I started to whistle. When I stopped, the whistling continued. – Asher
There is a teddy bear that sits on the window sill that I was looking at. When I sat down I noticed that the bear was now sitting next to me. – Asher

I look in the mirror and I see my little brother behind me. I don’t live with him anymore. – Imogen P

I drew a smiley face on some paper. I looked away for a second and looked back to see a sad face with a speech bubble saying, “Run.” – Finlay and Jude
I couldn’t sleep because the twigs from the tree outside my window were scratching the glass. Then I remembered the tree was cut down 2 months ago. – Finlay and Jude
I had a big day at school. When I got home, I looked in the mirror to wipe the sweat off my face, until I realised that I was actually tearing my face to shreds. – India

As I was falling asleep, something started shaking me, saying “Wake up!” I live alone. – Cooper
I was walking in a main street late at night when I got a text from a stranger, reading “Lights out.” Suddenly, the streetlights shattered. – Olivia
