In the middle of the night Fiona ran outside in fright from her creepy mansion. She thought she had seen a headless ghost following her and whispering her name in a freaky voice through the corridors of her mansion. Fiona ran outside because her garden was surrounded by spot lights which made her feel safer. Suddenly the spot lights popped one after another. This made Fiona feel like the ghost was creeping behind her. She returned home with her heart beating extremely fast. As soon as Fiona came home she raced to her two elder sister’s room and crept into bed with one of them to sleep. She could not go to her own room because she was too frightened. Many stories were told about the haunted mansion. Some people believed that there was a forbidden room in this mansion. This was haunted by the ghost of a person who had owned this mansion 50 years ago. Some said that there was hidden gold in the room. Fiona paid no attention to these rumours. Fiona visited the forbidden room often but lately she had experienced supernatural events. Even though it was haunted she still liked her mansion. The reason was that whenever she visited this room she would find different types of gold jewellery. The following morning of the incident everyone was called for breakfast by Fiona’s mum. Down the wide, posh, and reddish stairs came, Alina, Sophia, Fiona and father. When Fiona sat down for breakfast and related to her family about her last night experience. Of course no one believed her story. This made her furious and angry. Without having breakfast she stood up from the dining table. Running out of the room she slammed the door which made the whole mansion echo. It was a really frustrating day for Fiona; she could not get over what had happen... ... middle of paper ... ... ground in frustration. The room was back to normal as if nothing had happened. The girls were exhausted but at the same time happy. After all they had defeated the ghost. The girls went to their own bedroom and this time Fiona was not afraid. The following morning everyone came down for breakfast. Fiona had covered all her injuries. Mum grinned at Fiona “Have you finally got over that tantrum then?”. Fiona laughed “Yes! Everything is alright, forget about the other day”. The parents looked at her curiously and thought this was quite a strange response from Fiona. The family continued eating their breakfast as nothing had happened. The moral of this story is that stealing or taking something without permission can cause a lot of trouble. Also Curiosity can sometimes lead to disasters if guidance is not sought. The End

    They are already in a compromising situation in celebrating her eighteenth birthday at a gas station having coffee which was already established as being not the norm earlier with Marie recounting her own large party where her “mother made a large party” (154). There reality is broken when the teenagers arrive and “One of the girls went to the juke box and put money in” and they are forced to leave because of Carol condition which causes her to have a breakdown from the noise (157). The arrival of the kids forced them to come into contact with their own reality which can never coincide with the one they have fabricated. This small reminder of what the norm is supposed to be is often brought to their attention through others such as when they “could see, in the light shaft of light, a boy, two girls and a dog” (155). In this instance, they are walking on the way to their weekly picnic, which is in itself repetitive, when they are shown the norm of other having fun “the boy splashing in the water with the dog” while they are forced to go through the motions without much emotion. This depiction of the norm unsettles their reality and, even though they don’t stop trying to alter reality to shelter Carol, shows how dysfunctional their own situation is as it can be seen as a potential version of themselves without Carol’s
