The eyes on fire
In a little green house in London there once lived a thirteen year old boy called Adam. He had brown short hair and blue eyes. He was also quiet tall for his age, he was actually the tallest boy in his class. He lived together with his mum and his dog Lollipop. Adams dad had ran away when Adams mum told him she was pregnant. But Adam didn’t really care about that.
On a tuesday when Adam was going to school, Lollipop was acting very strange. He was barking to the window for no reason. Adam was looking out through the window, but there was nothing there.
Later on Adam went to his friend Lucy. They where always walking to school together. Lucy had been Adams friend sense they where small kids. She had long red hear and she was quiet tall too. Adam told Lucy about what Lollipop did that morning. Lucy had two dogs herself and was an expert on dogs. But she said that she had no idé why Lollipop was acting like that.
The school went on like usual and Adam walked home together with Lucy. He sad goodbye to Lucy when they passed her house and Adam walked to his house. Suddenly Adam felt a shill wind on his face and it sent shivers up and down his spine. It was very strange because it was just the end of the summer and it had been very hot all the time. Adam ran the last meters home.
When he opened the door Lollipop ran out past Adams legs and headed straight to the forest. Adam shouted to Lollipop to come back but he didn’t. Lollipop had been running away before and he had always found his way back home. So Adam didn’t think more about that.
The day went to night and Adam went to bed. He missed not having his dog around so he looked out through the window trying to see if there was any sign of Lollipop. When he was standing there, looking out through the forest he suddenly saw that the moon was very bright that night, it was full moon. He starred at the moon and he thought it was beautiful. Then suddenly the moon turned darker and darker as Adam stood there and watched. Then suddenly it was red! Adam didn’t understand, what was going on?! Then he heard a whispering voice saying ”alone, alone, alone” over and over again. Adam shouted and fall to the floor. His mum came up and asked:
”- Adam! What happened?! Whats wrong?!”
”- The moon! The moon!” he screamed.
”- What? What’s wrong with the moon?” she asked as she was bending down to Adam.
She helped him get up to the bed. Adam looked out through the window again but this time the moon was just like normal and there was no voice.
Adams mum told him that it was only a nightmare but Adam didn’t believe so. He was afraid and confused. That night Adam had a terrible nightmare about the red moon. It was burning and he was all alone, just like the voice sad. Alone, alone! Everything around him disappeared and there was only darkness. He screamed and then he woke up, all sweaty on his back and face.
Adams mum was worried about Adam and asked him if he didn’t want to stay home that day, but Adam didn’t want that. He was just worried that he would fall back to sleep and have that terrible nightmare.
Lollipop wasn’t back yet and today Lucy was ill so Adam had to walk all by himself to school. In class Adam couldn’t concentrate because he was thinking about the dream, the moon, Lollipop and how the next night would be!
When he walked home after school he felt the same shill wind as yesterday, but this time he saw something! It was a shadow behind his house. Adam ran as fast as he could but when he came close to the house, noone was there. Adam was scared stiff, something wasn’t right here! But he didn’t understand what!
Adam fell asleep on the sofa while he was watching TV that night. His mum had tucked him in and Adam had been sleeping very well. When he woke up at 3 AM he wasn’t that afraid anymore and he went up to his room to sleep in his own bed. But he was still worried about his dog Lollipop and he looked out though the window again. The forest was very light because of the bright moon, then suddenly the light on the forest went slightly red and it started to burn. Adams eyes slipped to the red moon, the moon was on FIRE!! Adam was terrified!! He wanted to escape from it but he couldn’t. Because there was nowhere to escape. Everything around him was gone. He tried to scream and shout to his mum but noone could hear him. The only thing he saw was the red moon, like a big burning ball. Then there was that voice again ALONE, ALONE! Adam screamed! He felt so much pain inside himself! It was like his heart was on fire and he was all alone!
The other day Lucy was getting ready for school. But just when she walked out through the door she saw a little dog sitting on the stares outside her house.
”- Hi Lollipop, what are you doing here?” Lucy asked the little dog.
Then Lollipop started to run and bark, he wanted Lucy to come with him. Lucy ran after Lollipop and they came to Adams house. The door was open and the dog ran in. Lucy went inside too.
”- Adam!”, she called. She walked upstairs to Adams room. ”Adam?”
Lucy opened the door to Adams room and she saw Adam lying on the floor with his face down. Everything around the room was destroyed or was lying on the floor. She ran close to Adam and lift him up and there was Adams face staring back at her with red, burning eyes.
