Young Tom Black

As the little boy felt the cold wet hand grab his shoulder he screamed out loud.
"What was that?" The other children whispered.
"I'm... I'm scared!" Lucy the smallest child shouted.
"Where's Tom?" Max cried out, "He... he... he's gone!" He shouted again.
"Help! Help me!" The same voice cried out again.
"Now I am really scared!" Lucy shouted.
The other children walked slowly through the big heavy wooden doors and into a dark small room where the hat of the young Tom Black lay on the floor.
"That's Tom's hat, isn't it?" One of the children said.
"Do you think he's... dead!" Max muttered.
"No of course he isn't!" Mary the oldest of the children said.
Then everything went black and there was three loud high pitched screams and then the light came back on and there was just one child standing in the room, little poor Lucy all along in dark little room. She went running to the door but it was locked! "Help, help me! Somebody help me!" Lucy shouted and then started to bang on the big wooden door.
"No one can help us Lucy." A small shivering voice cried out, "We're trapped here forever and soon you will be like me!" Lucy turned around and saw little Tom Black but not as normal, he was a ghost!
