Ghost Train
At midnight it happened, it appeared. I went on it to find my death. I was afraid because 7 others died.
Loops were everywhere on the tracks. I went on the train (it took 3 hours). When I arrived, the camera smashed. I awoke dead. I found the answer, the meaning of life!

Through the foggy mist the old lady was walking towards a mysterious ladder. There were crumbling brick walls, high in the sky that made her feel dizzy. All around her, she could hear the echo of footsteps. Even though it was dark and eerie, she could still hear the birds chirping. The lady was cared but she knew she had to take the journey. Suddenly, she started climbing knowing she was going to a better place than before. As she started climbing, she could smell the fresh grass above her and that spurred her on. Finally, she reached the top. She could see flowers dancing upon the wind and grass greener than she had ever seen. This was the place she had dreamed of her whole life. She was finally there. It was the promised-land.

The adventure of finding
In a dark, dusty cave, there was a woman, who was a grandma looking person, and she stepped out into the darkness. She could hear the wind whistling and could see the peculiar looking dust flying in the air. While holding on to the old stick, she found out there was a track, which was made out of wood. Going for the first step on to the track, she stood there, looked down and screamed! In a speed of a motorbike, the woman rushed to where she was again and a very frightened look on her face. She thought, “Maybe I’ll have another try at stepping in there again.” From when she was little, she wanted to find out what it was like to have an adventure so in the night she crept out of the windows and was lost but she lived in a cave for 20 years. Now she couldn’t find her way back again. An adventure would take a long time, but before living in that cave she was interest in circuses so that’s how she got an idea of an adventure and went to find a bigger circus to look for. She was also looking for her parents.
For a while standing there, she decided to step on the track. So scared but lucky, she followed the track carefully not looking at what was behind or underneath her foot. It took about 3 hours and 30 minutes. Wow! How did the woman know? She brought a watch that her parents gave her. When she was little, every time, she got her watch, went to bed and then her mum comes in the room and asks what time it was. Carefully, she stepped one by one on the track. She finally reached there, looking crazy, and went to find the circus. Still, she couldn’t find it but she kept going. She heard that her mother and father lived in a big circus because they found out that she loved circuses There was another track…….Where could that lead to? After 5 minutes of walking, she found a really big circus, also she found her parents.
At last! Guess what? She can help the circus do the work and watch how they perform funny acts. It was now a good time, not dusty, not sad, like the beginning, but a spring of air and happiness.

The endless ladder to a dragon’s cave
After hours of walking, she got to a bridge. A long bridge. A never ending line continuing on forever. One where you could only use your imagination to get to the end of line. Only clever people could do that – clever people like Nikita. Strong-willed and smartness got her everywhere in life and today is the day where it finally pays off. Trust me, being surrounded by sharp stone walls that will close in on you, tall, rotten grass and hot smoke that will lead to lava. Hot burning lava if you fall off the bridge. But what made it even more scary is that underneath you could see dead animal skulls in the lava and screams of them whom had just had just fallen in; however, some did survive because they had been rescued but that’s not very often- the only time you get rescued is when you rescue yourself by managing to grip onto the bridge for fatiguing hours until then finally someone else will truly come to rescue you. Reader, you may be wondering why anyone would want to take such a risk that could lead to certain death but that is because legend has it that there is over a million treasure chest lurking in the Dragon’s cave. The only luck that you could have on the journey is that this is quite tranquil and is very fatigue so will be sleeping when you get there. IF YOU GET THERE. Because then again it’s very dangerous. “ It has been 3 days already! This way to the dragon’s cave is endless, even though it is the only way…” sighed Nikita, starting to sob a little from all the pressure’’ I need to get that treasure… I NEED TO GET THAT TREASURE! For my brother…” Nikita’s brother was in a and e [accident and emergency] so she needed to get the money to pay for the surgery. Nikita still had thought dancing through her mind-sad thoughts –really sad thoughts, until she wished to just teleport to the dragon’s cave. 5. 4. The ground started to rumble. 3. 2. Pebbles flew. 1. Was it a hurricane? Was the dragon angry? Nikita started to sob. Clear tears ran down her face. Tears of pure sadness. She had been taken by a hurricane then landed on her two legs in the dragon’s cave. She had made it! The first person on earth to get to it! This called for a celebration. You didn’t need that never-ending bridge you just needed to think.

A little old lady walked this way every week to get her poor little husband fresh eggs from the farm. It was very cold and very foggy. She felt very scared but knew she had to go there. The bridge that she climbed was very creepy and the creepy noises came from a owl tooting.
