MAL
         by Gabriel A. Carter
Page 4 of 4

Well, I heard a noise coming from the lawn." Anthony’s dad asked "Really? Huh, that’s strange. Maybe someone can dig it up."

Chapter 8: The dig

Later on that day, some diggers got all of their shovels & dug as much as they could in the lawn. The dug & dug & dug until 2 hours past by. & what they found shocked them…They found the corpses of Cindy & Mal bleeding with their mouths open. The Diggers opened their mouths in shock as one of them puked in the hole. The diggers showed the corpses to Anthony & his dad as they opened their mouths in shock as well. Anthony said "I never seen a real corpse before."

The diggers took the two corpses to the morgue as the corpses stayed lying in the morgue beds, rolled in like a file cabinet & the doctor closed the doors. The doctor turned around & said "They must’ve been buried there by a murderer or something," as he took off his gloves. Anthony asked "You mean that there might have been a murderer living in our house before us?" The doctor said "Yeah, I’m afraid so Jr." The doctor walked away as Anthony stood in the morgue room.

Chapter 9: The ghost

"Sh…quiet. She might hear me," said Anthony to himself as he sat on his bed under the covers with a flash light. Noises went from one corner to another in Anthony’s room. Noises of her. Of her! Noises from the ghost of Mal. She’s back! But why is she back? She is back because she needs Anthony’s help.

Anthony shivered as he turned off the flashlight, took the covers off of his head & searched around his room. She wasn’t there until…She screamed & appeared in front of Anthony. Anthony put the covers over his head & shivered as he turned on the flashlight. Mal appeared under the covers as she continued to scream at Anthony. Anthony screamed a little as he pushed her off of the bed.

She fell off of Anthony’s bed the way a toy does when it is about to break on the floor. She fell to the floor as she disappeared. Anthony looked down at the floor as he sighed & got off of his bed. He looked under his bed, no one there. He got back on his bed as Mal appeared sitting next to him while screaming again. Anthony put his hands over his ears as he shouted "Stop it!"

Mal looked at Anthony & disappeared as Anthony’s parents opened the door to his room & run to him. They put their hands around his face. Anthony’s dad asked "Are you alright son?" Anthony said "I’m fine." Anthony’s mom said "We heard you screaming." Anthony said "I’m fine, just a nightmare."

Anthony’s mom said "Okay. Good night then," as she kissed Anthony on the forehead. Anthony said "Good night Mom. Good night Dad." Anthony’s dad said "Good night Son."
