I was pertrified, I was alone in those ancient greek building. Could there be a way out? I couldnt bear to be in there a minute longer. The smell was hurendous and not in a good way. My nostrils were filled with this unbearable smell that seemed to be coming from the top of my head. Slowly, I looked up realising that there was something wrong going on, something VERY wrong. As I bearly lifted my head up, I opened my eyes and there infront of me, was a dead body. No wonder it smelt so terrible! I screamed then I realised, no one was there. So I quickly started searching. I pushed everything out of my way, knocked everything over until I saw a door. A mystery door leading to some place out of here. This was it I thought! This was my life saving oppurtunity! I slowly opened the door, and with a loud annoying creek I realised, I was not alone...

It was a typical London night, freezing cold. Streetlights emitting a miserable yellow glow. It was 10pm as I was walking across a street. I wanted to get out of here - fast. The tall buildings thrust their power at me; tall and menacing with fury in their eyes. There would be one or two creaks here or there a bark from a dog as well. Every second made me feel more unwanted. Finally, I reached my destination. A shabby house; clearly abandoned, rotting away and broken in many places. There were weeds surrounding the house, almost crushing it to dust. As I entered I was even more disgusted, cobwebs everywhere. Spiders were hanging off of the ceiling. The furniture were all broken, the fabrics ripped and were.. that was blood! There was no mistaking it. I saw the package. I picked it up and turned. I then started to run. Then something terrifying happened. The door shut, I heard the click of a lock. Then the spiders had scuttled away almost afraid of what was going to happen. A menacing, cold, cruel laugh echoed in the whole house. That's when I realised, I wasn't alone.

Fire-works Everywhere in my site and in my senses , the smell of revolution and chaos Then , i heard Footsteps , thump thump, No it wasnt my heart still thumping it was a Human a live Human in my reaching , in the area ! though i couldnt see her or him That's when I realised, I wasn't alone...

It was like any other saturday people driving around blasting out music lots of voices chattering. And crounds walking down the busy streets, with bags packed full or shoping. I myself had poped into next to buy a new shirt. But then suddenly everything around me went, the cars, people and the lights went out even the sun. It was as if i was the only one left until I noticed somthing green in the distance. I was like a small pyramid about the size of a football, with a strange symbol like a cross between a circle and a square. Then another green animal like figure was moving in the distance. That's when I realised, I wasn't alone...

I was out camping with my friends in the Amazon Rainforest, we had been several times before, we had been there a few nights and everything seemed fine. The next day my friends were gone, I thought they had gone to collect wood and food, but I waited there for hours and nobody came. I began to wonder aimlessly through the forest looking high and low for my friends. I even climbed trees, meeting all sorts of dangerous creatures, I wondered for days on end, Sometimes thought I was lost or whether i was going in circles, I searched high and low, living on the resources from the forest, berries that I had to roast, insects and other types of creatures also wild weeds. One night, I head footsteps outside, it wasnt the sound of any animal, that's when I realised...I was not alone

One of the most scariest things ive had to do, run away from home, i wasn't happy, daddy kept on coming in drunk and picking arguements with me and mum, i was lonely, i felt so alone, i didn't dare speak up about it, it was since my fathers dad had died, he went to bars instead of stay with his family, I was grieving my Pa aswell, i loved him so much, i thought nothing could be worse, but it was when dad changed. He was at the pub and mum was out at bingo, so i packed a few clothes, and jumped out the window and RAN! ran for my life, I spent the night on a park bench, so cold and alone, I had ran out of tears, i couldn't cry anymore. The next day i found a squat, with loads of cool kids, who had simular problems to me, That's when I realised, I wasn't alone...

I’m dead, well, not really dead. I’m pretending so I don’t have to go to boarding school because I was kicked out of my last school and, obviously, I don’t want to go. So instead of using a petty excuse like ‘I don’t feel well’ I am taking it a step further by pretending to be dead. You might think I’m mad but ill be the one not going to school!
I heard my mum shout, “30 minutes, 20 minutes, 10 minutes.” Then my mum came up into my room. I focused my mind on staying as still as a corpse. She left to go to get dad, probably because she knew she couldn’t make me do anything. Soon after, my dad stormed into my room and gave me a huge lecture on life and why school is so important.
Once he had finally shut up a few minutes later he actually became concerned. He called my name several times, each one sounding more panicky than the last.
My dad put his fingers on my neck to try and find my pulse but he never was good at anything to do with anything medical and completely missed where he was supposed to be touching.
“He’s dead” Dad whispered, as I tried to hide a smile. Mum burst into tears and ran downstairs. Then to my surprise dad merrily walked downstairs whilst whistling. He wasn’t bothered in the slightest that his only child was dead. Unless, he knew I was alive. Maybe he wanted me to crack so he wins. But I was not going to let that happen so I decided to keep going.
I was really getting bored now and I was really hungry, I could smell, and almost taste a fry-up being cooked downstairs, my favourite food.
It had been a good few hours since my parents first thought I was dead, 4 hours to be precise, 4 hours of staring at my plain, white ceiling. I slowly sat up as quietly as I could and looked out of my window to see the world pass me by. It was a sweltering day, the grass looked dry and the ground looked hot. Everyone was heading one way, towards the beach. It was unfair. Why did I have to go to boarding school!? I was really starting to get irritable now.
The sizzling sound coming from downstairs stopped. I could hear my parents talking but I couldn’t really tell what they were saying but I knew it was something to do with me.
My dad ran up the stairs and slowly approached my bed, creaking every floorboard along the way. He wrapped me up in my duvet like a giant hot dog. No hesitation. No noise. No tears. No grieving. They must have known that I was pulling their leg. I hoped anyway. I was carried away in a very uncomfortable position which made it incredible hard not to make a noise or put up any resistance but I just about managed it. I was taken outside, to the back of the garden. Then, to my despair I saw a rectangular shaped hole in the ground I immediately knew what they were going to do, bury me! I was thrown into the cold, damp grave which winded me. They wouldn’t do this if I was dead. Or even to play a joke on me. They must have forgotten to take their medication, but they wouldn’t, it’s too important, but it is very possible and they had shown some signs recently. It was bad. Really bad.

My dad threw some dirt onto my body, it was cold, damp and it winded me as it landed on my stomach. It made me realise; they actually were going to bury me. “Stop!” I screamed “It’s a joke, I’m alive!” Then I stopped, my parents had gone. That’s when I realised I wasn’t alone…

Adam, Dylan & Eve
A short story by L.A.Walker

My name's Dylan, and nobody says so, but Habboville can be a lonely place for a guy like me.

I live just a few miles from the world-famous Habbo Hotel here in the UK, in the heart of Habboville. You could look at it like a pixellated London: there's gang crimes with knifes, not safe to go out at night in the back alleys, a lot of nervous girls sitting on road corners just waiting for the wreckless driver to oversteer his Vauxhall straight into them because life is so bad.

Don't get me wrong, this place has many upsides. Plenty of friendly passerbys are willing to donate to beggers, loads of jobs available, plenty of room... and rent ain't half bad either. Unfortunately, I ended up stuck on the worst street in Habboville, in a flat run by the Bobbanies. My neighbour ain't exactly all fun n' cookies either... in fact, she keeps giving me cookies in the hope that I get overweight.

I've got no phone, no TV, no computer... mainly 'cause Mr. Bobbanie chooses to be overly energy-efficient. If I ever need to call my work, I gotta go across the street. But it ain't like I can call anybody: ever since my best friend left to live at the Hotel, I've been the guy taking the blame for all the bad that HE did in this place. Why? 'Cause I was the only person who got even remotely close to him. I couldn't find anybody else, he was the best I had, and look what's happened.

Though I do have just one ray of light I like to glimpse at every so often. There's this girl who lives on the floor below me, cutest thing ever. Her name's Eve, and I've been trying to get closer and closer to her ever since she moved in two months ago. We were just friends before I opened my mouth, and that's when my life stepped on the biggest rollercoaster I'd been on in my life. I keep this story as the shining gem in my mind.

It was one of those rare bump-ins when we both were headed off to work, and in a sudden blurt I asked her if she wanted to go out later that day. Overwhelmed yet reluctant at first, she said yes. We went our own way, worked our hours, and agreed to meet at 7pm that night...

But as I was stepping into the building to get in, my attention turned to something happening just a couple of steps away: a car pulled up, brakes screaming, and a guy in a coat and black fingerless gloves getting out. He opened the passenger side to fetch out a dog, tied the collar to a lamppost, then jumped back in his car and rushed away! Abandonment in front of my very eyes, and I could see the dog felt rejected. How could I leave this poor thing on its own like this?

I brought the dog into the flat, much to the dislike of Mrs. Bobbanie who has a harsh 'no dogs' policy. Her attention was diverted though, so I snuck him inside and had him chill out at my place. I popped out quickly to get food, came back to cross Eve in the hallway. "Hey, you ready Dylan?" I stood there suddenly remembering the plans I had made. Oh damn, it slipped my mind! Then she saw the look on my face, followed by the dog food.

"What'ya got there D?" "Nothing." "Sure don't look like nothing," her voice raising with intruige. "You don't have a dog..."

I was left with a decision. I could see that Eve was eager to get going. It was either I experience my dream date and leave the dog on his own upstairs, or I cancel my one lucky plan to keep a dog happy... I couldn't believe my luck at that precise moment, but she made a quick assumption: "I can see you're busy Dylan. Go on." And before I could say anything, she closed the door on me. From what I could gather, she thought I was getting lunch! Hey, there are some weird people with weird eating habits in this building... she'd discovered one I didn't have.

I went upstairs, my heart shattered in twenty different places, to come into my flat and feed a starving dog. I slumped on the couch and put my face in my hands. I could feel the tears welling up inside before I got an angry knock on the door. I opened it to find Mr. Bobbanie red in the face. "You know I have an allergy to those stupid mutts!"

"Mr. Bobo, I-" "It's Mr. Bobbanie to you, ya bum. Get that dog out of here right now!" I was so awash with emotion that I was quick to hold the dog in my arms and protest. "You are not taking Adam away, he's my dog!"

"You'll be lucky to have a flat let alone a single friend by the time I'm through with that mutt. Give 'em here!" He proceeded towards us before he was stopped by a voice from behind him... Eve had heard the racket.

"Mr. Bobbanie, you don't have an allergy. We've heard that excuse time and time again! Just leave Dylan and Adam alone!" Mr. Bobbanie was unable to retailiate with his own words for fear of what his wife would say, and stormed out of the room. Eve carefully approached as I watched Adam take a nap in my arms.

"If you want, Dylan... we could go out later in the week perhaps?" I nodded to her, a slight smile on my face aswell as hers before she left the room and closed the door quietly...

It's been three more months now, and I finally got some money together. Mobile phone, small TV set, and I'm writing this story in an internet café not far from where I live. Eve and I did go for that date three days after that fateful day, but it never worked out. Turns out she had her eyes on someone from her work. Oh well, we can't have everything.

As for me, I'm making sense of what to look out for nowadays. I got a job interview next week, and I could be moving into a bigger flat downstairs, neighbour to Eve. We're still friends, but she's usually busy. It'll be cool to give Adam his own room, I ain't gonna use the spare room. He may have to stand on more legs than me, but he's my buddy, quite possibly my best friend now. When he fell asleep in my arms, there was no doubt in my mind that we'd go well together.

It's times like these when it's just a little brighter. That day that Eve had my back... when Adam needed a friend... that's when I realised, I wasn't alone...

i pulled out my mobile from my pocket it was no use it had lost signal.
i heard footsteps and loads of wolfs howling i started to panick and thats when i realised,i wasn't alone...
