The Wild Wood - Creative writing task 1 - Wee Ashley

The park laid before him as light drew less. Lush tall trees were surrounding him. Sheldon had finally finished his tuition and started walking home. The light from his handphone lit up his face. Glancing up briefly, he noticed a pair of eyes which flashed up for an instant. Shaking his head, Sheldon looked back down onto his phone.

Soon, he heard rustling and saw more pairs of eyes surrounding him. He knew this was all fun excitement and told himself cheerfully that he was just imagining things. Suddenly,he heard a faint scream right behind him. More eyes seemed to appear and the park got dimmer and dimmer. He thought he felt someone tapping him and without turning around, he ran, although he knew not where and at last, he took refuge in the deep dark hollow of a beech tree.

When the coast was clear and Sheldon had calmed down, he headed home with the scream still ringing in his ears.
