Chapter One – Where am I?

The darkness. No light. I can’t hear anything outside. I try to move my arms but I hit the walls. I turn my head... and then I see the shape of a skeleton.

Looks like I’m in the coffin somewhere in an old cemetery. I think about the everlasting darkness and if I’ll ever see light again.

‘I’m only 12... What did I do to deserve this?! – I said ‘How to get out of here’ I thought.

I heard the voice in my mind saying ‘Use the forks’

‘What forks, I’m in a coffin you dumb-dumb’ I said

‘You’re calling your own mind a dumb-dumb!’

‘Aye, why not. I’m stuck in this freaking coffin’

‘A mind fight? How interesting’ the skeleton murmured- ‘Finally something happened after all these years!’

‘W-what did you say’ I stumbled

‘It wasn’t me!’ my mind said

‘It was me you ****’ the skeleton replied angrily

Something hits the coffin. It opens. The light fills in. The scenery becomes clear.

Chapter Two – The Cemetery

I stood up and got out the coffin. I realised that I was

in the local cemetery. When I looked back in to the coffin I saw not one but two skeletons. I look at the gravestone with the names of Seth Harvey and Andy Pandy both born together and died on the same day and month as they were born, 5.3.1849-1888.

A familiar face stood at the other end of the cemetery with a big black dog sitting at his heel. The man had a black coat with grey trousers and a white beard with sunglasses.

I started to walk over to him, he shouted something

‘What was that?’ I shouted

‘Are you ok?’ he replied

‘What do you think? I just stepped out of a coffin and I’m perfectly fine’

‘No need to get sarcastic with me boy, you are a boy right?’

‘Yes, why not’

‘And are you ok?’

‘Sort of. Who are you? And why do you have a dog?’ I asked politely.

‘I’m here to take your soul’

Suddenly he takes out a battle-axe....
