Brilliant - I was on the edge of my seat throughout, Sharon!

I remember finding our way into a similar space in the cellar of my junior school, through a door from the room we'd been sent to to collect some sports equipment. I don't know if I was disappointed or relieved to find nothing scary lurking within.... but either way I was certainly terrified! 👻

Thank you, Rebecca! The fear and anticipation was thrilling for us. The untethered imagination, the possibilities of our young minds! It is my hope that I can keep some of those memories alive through my writing. I am very pleased that you enjoyed my story.

Oooo. I was seven years old again! I remember the chills. I think we watched too many scary movies at the Sunday. matinee and at the drive-in theater...
