Calm your sister down

From Create Your Own Story

"Don't cry," you try to cheer Charmaine up. "Kwan must be hiding down here somewhere. Do you want him to see you're frightened?"

Charmaine shakes her head and snuffles. "I'm not fr-fr-frightened."

At that moment her eyes fly wide open.

Staring and scared.

She screams.

Not once, but twice.

Your blood turns icy.

You look where she is looking.

A patch of white. Floating towards the both of you. A white oval, coming out from behind a crate.

It is a face. Because it has eyes.

Charmaine clings to you, screaming and screaming.

"A dead man!"

It is the whitest face you have ever seen. White and pale and wrinkled like old paper. But the black eyes are burning like coals. And the mouth opens to speak. It is toothless.
