Don't Look

Do you see it?

By Maddy HaywoodPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Don't look now. No, I said don't-

It's over there, behind you

See it?

Turn around, go on!

Right there, by the door

Actually, it's outside by the windows now

Can't you see it?

There! It's there, look!

In the garden, getting... closer?

Oh no, it's in the house...

Now... do you see... me?

About the Creator

Maddy Haywood

Hi there! My name's Maddy and I'm an aspiring author. I really enjoy reading modernised fairy tales, and retellings of classic stories, and I hope to write my own in the future. Fantasy stories are my go-to reads.
