September/October​ ​ edition​ ​ 2017 

they​ ​ came​ ​ across​ ​ a ​ ​ house...a
dark,​ ​ scary,​ ​ decomposing​ ​ house
composed​ ​ of​ ​ mold​ ​ (probably
termites​ ​ from​ ​ the​ ​ looks​ ​ of​ ​ it),​ ​ but
the​ ​ door​ ​ and​ ​ windows​ ​ were
perfectly​ ​ fine​ ​ even​ ​ though​ ​ the
house​ ​ itself​ ​ was​ ​ rotting​ ​ from​ ​ the
floor​ ​ up!
¨Sh-sh-should​ ​ we​ ​ g-go
in?¨asked​ ​ Lisa​ ​ ¨I've​ ​ been​ ​ through
these​ ​ woods​ ​ like​ ​ a ​ ​ thousand
times​ ​ and​ ​ I've​ ​ never​ ​ seen​ ​ this
house​ ​ here!¨
Maybe​ ​ we​ ​ just​ ​ went​ ​ the
wrong​ ​ way.¨reassured​ ​ Sam,​ ​ ¨we
can​ ​ just​ ​ go​ ​ back,or​ ​ do​ ​ u ​ ​ want​ ​ to
go​ ​ in?¨
They​ ​ scoped​ ​ out​ ​ the
house​ ​ and​ ​ their​ ​ surroundings​ ​ so
that​ ​ no​ ​ one​ ​ was​ ​ looking​ ​ and
suddenly​ ​ Lisa​ ​ screamed.
¨AAAAHHHH!!!¨​ ​ screamed
Lisa.​ ​ Sam​ ​ came​ ​ running​ ​ over
¨LISA!​ ​ What's​ ​ wong?¨
exclaimed​ ​ Sam
¨There's​ ​ a ​ ​ spider!¨Cried
Lisa.
They​ ​ got​ ​ back​ ​ to​ ​ the​ ​ front
of​ ​ the​ ​ house​ ​ and​ ​ ¨FWOOSH¨ ​ ​ the
door​ ​ swung​ ​ open​ ​ showing​ ​ the
inside​ ​ of​ ​ the​ ​ house.​ ​ The​ ​ inside
didn't​ ​ even​ ​ look​ ​ bad.​ ​ It​ ​ was​ ​ as​ ​ if​ ​ it
was​ ​ some​ ​ sort​ ​ of​ ​ trick!​ ​ They
stepped​ ​ into​ ​ the​ ​ house​ ​ and​ ​ then
a​ ​ ¨CRASH¨ ​ ​ sounded​ ​ throughout
the​ ​ whole​ ​ house.​ ​ Then​ ​ a ​ ​ loud
¨CLICK¨ ​ ​ followed​ ​ the​ ​ crash​ ​ of​ ​ the
door!​ ​ They​ ​ struggled​ ​ to​ ​ get​ ​ the
door​ ​ open.​ ​ They​ ​ also​ ​ tried​ ​ the
windows,but​ ​ it​ ​ was​ ​ no​ ​ use:​ ​ they
7
were​ ​ indestructible.​ ​ They​ ​ even
tried​ ​ to​ ​ break​ ​ the​ ​ door​ ​ and​ ​ all​ ​ the
windows​ ​ they​ ​ could​ ​ find,​ ​ ​ but​ ​ it
was​ ​ no​ ​ use.
¨I´m​ ​ going​ ​ to​ ​ check​ ​ out​ ​ the
house.​ ​ You​ ​ stay​ ​ here!¨​ ​ exclaimed
Sam.
¨But​ ​ what​ ​ if​ ​ something
happens​ ​ to​ ​ you?¨asked​ ​ Lisa.
¨What​ ​ will​ ​ happen​ ​ to​ ​ me​ ​ ?¨
Sam.
You'll​ ​ be​ ​ fine.¨​ ​ reassured
And​ ​ with​ ​ those​ ​ last​ ​ words​ ​ Sam
left​ ​ leaving​ ​ Lisa​ ​ all​ ​ by​ ​ herself.​ ​ Hours
went​ ​ by.​ ​ First​ ​ one​ ​ hour.​ ​ Then​ ​ two​ ​ hours.
Then​ ​ three​ ​ hours.​ ​ Lisa​ ​ was​ ​ truly​ ​ by
herself.​ ​ She​ ​ started​ ​ to​ ​ wander​ ​ around
the​ ​ house​ ​ looking​ ​ for​ ​ Sam​ ​ when​ ​ she
stumbled​ ​ across​ ​ a ​ ​ latch​ ​ in​ ​ the​ ​ wall.​ ​ She
opened​ ​ it​ ​ and​ ​ saw​ ​ a ​ ​ room​ ​ with​ ​ lots​ ​ of
things.​ ​ She​ ​ could​ ​ only​ ​ see​ ​ the​ ​ outlines,
but​ ​ knew​ ​ there​ ​ were​ ​ lots​ ​ of​ ​ things​ ​ in
there.​ ​ Then,​ ​ the​ ​ room​ ​ turned​ ​ into​ ​ a ​ ​ corn
maze.​ ​ With​ ​ lots​ ​ of​ ​ corn​ ​ believe​ ​ it​ ​ or​ ​ not,
and​ ​ every​ ​ way​ ​ she​ ​ turned​ ​ and​ ​ went​ ​ to​ ​ it
was​ ​ all​ ​ dead​ ​ ends.​ ​ Finally,​ ​ she​ ​ started
crying.
¨I​ ​ want​ ​ to​ ​ go​ ​ home.​ ​ I'm​ ​ sick​ ​ of
this.​ ​ It's​ ​ all​ ​ dead​ ​ ends.​ ​ I ​ ​ love​ ​ a ​ ​ good
maze​ ​ as​ ​ much​ ​ as​ ​ anyone​ ​ else,​ ​ but​ ​ it’s
all​ ​ dead​ ​ ends.​ ​ Just​ ​ let​ ​ me​ ​ go​ ​ HOME
please!¨cried​ ​ Lisa
However,​ ​ now​ ​ she​ ​ was​ ​ back​ ​ in
the​ ​ house,​ ​ but​ ​ not​ ​ her​ ​ house.She​ ​ was​ ​ in
the​ ​ house​ ​ she​ ​ ran​ ​ up​ ​ to​ ​ where​ ​ she​ ​ saw
the​ ​ hatch​ ​ in​ ​ the​ ​ wall,​ ​ but​ ​ it​ ​ was​ ​ gone
and​ ​ she​ ​ was​ ​ very​ ​ scared​ ​ at​ ​ this​ ​ point.
Then,​ ​ she​ ​ walked​ ​ down​ ​ the​ ​ stairs​ ​ again
