An extract from a story
It was just like in a film. They had got lost, Mike's famous knowledge of geography not seeming to extend to map-reading. Now the sun was setting and the four of them had to find shelter as it would be dangerous to continue their walk without light; they might fall over a ledge. Harry could even see dark clouds moving in so there wouldn't be any moonlight and there might even be rain. He also wished he had been a bit less greedy at lunchtime as he was beginning to feel it was time for a snack and there was not much hope of his getting one.
'Look,' said Amy. 'There's a light over there.'
She was right. That was a bit odd. Although Harry was not sure exactly where they were he had walked all over this area and couldn't remember ever seeing a building nearby. Perhaps it was campers.
But no, it wasn't- there was an old temple standing among some rather twisted trees. Beside the temple was a small house with a light shining through the window. Harry watched as the light fast faded and strange black shadows like claws or ancient fingers seemed to crawl across the grass towards them.
