Its kinda wierd.. Anywho...


The Swing by Alternative_Sack:

The wind whistled through the reeds of lake Aromana. The darkness covering the manor like a blanket. Or at least what used to be the manor. It was now an apartment. The St. Michael's manor destroyed, thrown away into the past, lost in the foggy mists of time.

Anna lay. Dormant in her sleep. Her face as still as the night beyond. A sound. A creak. It woke her from her slumber. she sat up in bed and anxiously glanced around the room. Her heart beating faster than her swimming mind. The noise again. Alas. It came from the out of bounds area behind the small patio behind the Block of flats. She peered out of the window. The swing. The old swing from many years before. Its rusty frame damaged from one hundred years of sitting. Its last user was hundreds of years before. And then she saw it. Him.

A boy. As white as snow. swinging, crying. His translucent body unbelievable.
Anna crept from the apartment. Down the stairs, out the back. Then stood the fence; An obstacle in her way. She climbed it. Half asleep. She got over but fell. She gashed her arm. A wound like a tear in a cloth. She cried. But she had to get a look at the boy. He turned round as she approached. he mouthed something. a silent scream. He gestured for her to turn. She did so and saw it. A man. as white as the boy. A flash of white and then no more.

Anna's mother never found Anna. She moved out of the flat in depression three weeks later. A new family moved in.
A girl, and a father. One night the girl was woken from her sleep by a creaking. She peered out the window and saw it. A girl, as white as snow.

Short but sweet.

Nice work mate, you should really consider making bigger. I loved it but only 300 words left me wanting more
