The Dog and the Shadow
Emily Leadbitter, 12
It all started when , i first knock at the door .“trick or treat ”that's when…
I barked ,cried and barked again , i heard people laughing and shouting !!! “Bobby , come
and get your tea” . i jumped running to the kitchen .suddenly i saw this shadow, thinking it
was mine or a little creature then it disappeared.so i wondered on ,it kept on creeping up on
me thats when i knew something wasn’t right …so i eat my tea, then went for a walk
seeing all the kids made me very jeluse ,having all the sweets yum. I didn't see the shadow
after that but as soon as i opened the door it was there.my owner didn’t see it but i did.the
clock struck 9 then 10 then 11 , then ...12…ding ,ding ,ding ,watch you back or else the
shadow said... that's when time stopped.
I jumped out my skin,barking,running out the room ,upstairs the and under my owner's
bed covers i did want to come out i couldn't look.the voice repeatedly in my head . time kept
on going .i know tomorrow it was going to be over but no as i came out, “got you” i went up
my stomach was tight i knew the shadow had got me thats it ...i felt my paws getting
scratched it was a sack it must of been what else felt like this .SUDDENLY ,BOOM I
HEARD MY OWNER SCREAM THAT'S WHEN I…. “BOO”…
