HAUNTED HILL
Sharlah and Aj were looking to make trouble. They quickly found an empty house on Haunted Hill. Sharlah
slowly walked up the path and bravely knocked on the door. Aj whispered quietly that they should just go home
but Sharlah fearlessly wanted to look inside.
Suddenly, the door opened. The two boys nervously waited to see who had opened the door but nobody was
there. Then, out of nowhere, a cat jumped towards them and the students screamed and they ran away.
Sharlah said “she will never go back to that house again”. Aj laughed and said “He will absolutely never
go to that house again.”
