The Flicker

One day Sally was in the house on her own and she was only 12. She went down into the living room with her laptop and went on a chat online. She was talking to her friend (Lilly aged 12), they both went the same school and were best friends, they sat next to each other all the time in lessons and they had most of the same things at home.

Anyway, they were both talking to each other on the chat and Sally soon said that she was going to go to the toilet. While she had gone some strange things were happening on the chat to Lilly, saying things like 'HELLO TELL ME YOUR NAME'. Lilly typed back stop playing pranks on me Sally. then Lilly got another message on the screen saying 'I AM NOT SALLY I AM SOMEONE ELSE JUST TELL ME YOUR NAME'. She typed back well if it is not Sally who is it?Lilly's message said 'IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT MY NAME IS JUST TELL ME YOURS'. Then Lilly got a message saying 'HI AGAIN LILLY I AM BACK'. Lilly was really scared and told Sally what happened. Sally was so shocked and so scared. She said to Lilly she would go out of the room and Lilly had got to tell her after if it happened again. So Sally went out.

Lilly got the same messages again. She was very scared so when Sally came into the room Lilly said 'sorry Sally it happened again and I am too scared to stay online I am going now bye'. So Lilly went off.

Soon Sally heard a bang on the door - BANG BANG BANG... She leaped up off the sofa thinking it was her mum coming back, seen as though she had been gone for a while, So Sally went too the door and to her surprise it was not her mum, there was nobody there, so she closed the door and on the doormat there was a letter saying - DEAR SALLY. So she picked up the letter and started to open it up.

The letter said-
DEAR SALLY I AM NOT HERE TO SCARE YOU I AM JUST HERE TO STAY FOR A LITTLE WHILE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, I AM YOUR GREAT GRANDMA AND I REALLY MISS YOU. WHEN YOUR FRIEND, I THINK SHE IS CALLED LILLY, WELL WHEN SHE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SHE WAS SCARED IT WAS ME TALKING TO HER-SORRY, I WAS JUST HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF FUN SEEN AS THOUGH I HAVE BEEN GONE FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS.. ANYWAY AS I SAID I AM NOT HERE TO SCARE YOU I AM JUST HERE FOR A LITTLE BIT OF COMPANY.

LOVE FROM YOUR GREAT GRANDMA

Sally stood there not knowing what to do. She was just about to scream and run out of the house when she thought to herself. Wait she said she was not going to scare me and she wanted company- So I will stay in the house and keep her company... So Sally did just that until her mum came in, and she told her all about it.

That was what happened to Sally when she was home alone...
