The Bungalow Death When it is the summer holidays, it is never fun. All I get to do is to stay at my grandfather’s mansion. I just can’t help but wonder why does my grandfather bought this completely sanctuary mansion because there is no one to actually talk to or play with. I can only roam around the hallways and got into rooms which were not locked. Most the rooms were locked and every time I asked my maid why are the rooms locked, but her answer is just a ‘don’t know’. I always wanted to know what is the chattering inside the locked room next to mine and I sometimes like to try and turn the knob but I can’t because it will be only locked. One of the days I was running in the hallway of the second floor when I heard a noise. It was like typing and writing. It was coming from a locked room. “What could hat noise be and where or who is making it?” I asked myself “maybe I should go and find out.” I went closer and closer to the room and turn the knob slowly. It was locked and I didn’t know where the key is. I went to the room next to it and it didn’t open either. I decided that I should tell my maid, Mala, about this weird noise. I rushed down the stairs and into the living room to find Mala lighting up the fire and the fireplace was filled with big flames dancing. “Hey, Mala, did you know what happened? I first heard a typing noise and went to figure it out, but the door was locked. Can you help me find the key? “I protested to my maid. “Come, on Alice, you are like 10 years old. Stop acting like a five year old,” replied my maid. I actually couldn’t believe it at all! She doesn’t even believe at all. I gave all hope and went back to my room and started thinking about what Mala had said to me. I think I was imagining all of those things. Then I decided to go out to play. I saw a huge bungalow at the very top of the hill. Every time I asked Mala about that bungalow, she would just say that it is haunted and told me not to go there. I was never afraid of anything and I started climbing up the hill. I climbed and climbed until I finally reached the top of the hill and to my amazement it actually looked scary. One part of me told me to turn and run, but the other part said to go on forward. Of course, I always loved challenges so I went on to the front door. It creaked open and I barely even touched it. I knew it was just the wind or something, but there was something else that bothered me. There was a familiar scent in the kitchen, the scent of bacon and eggs. There is someone here and he just knows it. I went to the kitchen to see a pan and some bacon and eggs cooking on it. I went to peek out of the back door to see a huge field and right in the middle of it was a huge and shady tree…… PLEASE CONTINUE THE STORY. I am Saranekha and I am sitting for checkpoint now. I am supposed to complete the story. So here it is. When it is the summer holidays, it is never fun. All I get to do is to stay at my grandfather’s mansion.

There is someone here and he just knows it. I went to the kitchen to see a pan and some bacon and eggs cooking on it. I went to peek out of the back door to see a huge field and right in the middle of it was a huge and shady tree. It looked cool and I began to think that this house isn’t that scary after all. I went upstairs at opened a room to see a room and there is a little girl sleeping in it. She looked almost like me and I actually began to think whether she is a duplicate of me. So I proceeded to the next room to see a man who looked like my father and I became curious. I went to the next room and to my amazement. I saw a boy which looked exactly like my older brother, but he looks a bit small. I immediately I realized what is happening. This is not a haunted house, but a truth house where anyone go inside. They would find the truth about their family. My family had died five years ago and I was only five to even remember it. I am going to find out the truth about their death. This is how it went. I woke up to the delicious smell of bacons and eggs. It was my favorite breakfast and I always eat it every Wednesday. I went to brush my teeth and wore a beautiful dress because it was my fifth birthday today. I went to my brother’s room to wake him up. I found out that he was already awake and was holding my birthday present for me. He gave me a big smile and handed over the present to me. I ripped it open to see a beautiful blue bow that is shining with glitter. I was so beautiful in fact too beautiful that I wore right away and he said that I look like an angel. I looked at him and ran straight downstairs and I went to my mother and gave her a big hug. I loved her and I never wanted to be apart from her. She gave some bacon and eggs and I gobbled the whole thing. My mum just smiled at me and went back to the kitchen. Just then a bomb just fell from the sky and exploded the whole house. I ran out of the house and fainted in the middle of the street. I went back to my grandfather’s mansion and ran straight to my room and cry.
