In the Dark Black wood
One day, on Halloween, James was trick or treating. He had gone to five doors and these are the things which he got: an apple, two chocolate lollipops, an orange, and drumstick sweeties.
There was a house on the other side of the wood – Mr Alistair’s house. Mr Alistair was a nice man and James knew he would get something good from him.
On the way to Mr Alistair’s house, the green trees were dripping and the half-orange and half-red leaves were falling to the ground. James heard something like a broomstick jumping … he looked around and who was it but a witch! The witch put James into a bag.
After this day nobody ever saw James alive again.
