THE FROZEN PEOPLE

I got out of bed slumping onto the mouldy, damp wood with an ear-piercing shriek. Suddenly there was a head-splitting scream clearer than broad daylight, I listened intently, it didn't sound like anyone I knew. Sprinting down the stairs, I hurled myself into the the kitchen then just stood there ,mouth hanging open. There was a broken window with sharp smithereens of glass scattered over the floor. People were standing inside the house close to crumpling to the floor also there was a doll . . . dressed exactly like me!. The only other thing was a rusty ramshackle wooden box: trembling, I heaved the lid up gingerly - inside was a dilapidated metal box. At that moment the spooky room filled with smoke wafting around the cracked shards of glass then a eternal spirit came down from the steamy lights she lifted the lid gingerly then dissolved into nothing, I crept up to it, but a knife came whistling past my ear and ice cold steel kissed pearly human flesh and the stranger fell to the floor gasping for breath. Magically, like a switch, the mysterious doll came to life then dragged me screaming into the howling night air.
