Midnight Price

Midnight Price

Jimmy was walking outside, he looked around, there was no one to be seen. That was strange for him, because there’s normally a ton of people outside, but today was a ghost town. He walked down  the street to the dairy, and still, no one to be seen. He arrived at the diary and it was closed, he thought to himself, “Why is there no one around”? He looked across the street at the other little shops, but they were all closed.

He walked back to his house, he couldn’t remember if his parents were home. He arrived at the door and walked in. Slowly walking around the rooms but no one was there, he was scared. He ran to the phone and dialed 619. But, no one at the police station answered, now he was shocked. He got his bag, put everything he loved in there, and left. Walking down the streets for hours. No one to be seen, nothing to be seen, just land and a fence.  He jumped over the fence into the land, only grass, and he headed towards to mountain.

Once he got to the mountain, there was a blur, he thought he saw a portal. He thought he was going insane. But he rubbed his eyes, and it was still there, so he walked to it. He was right in front of it, so, he had no choice but to end this. He walked in, the world turned pink, but he wasn’t scared because he wanted to get out of that ghost town life. When he arrived on the other side of the portal, it was dark. There were 2 lights, a mysterious kingdom and a house. He walked down the scary footpath to the house, and he knew, he was getting into trouble.

He opened the door, nothing to be seen inside except one lamp, and a bed. He checked around more to see if it was safe, if the bed was alright. Just so it could turn day, he slept in the bed for the night. “Why am I here”, “Where is everyone”, “Am I alive”, he started to sleep talk. The lamp turned off by itself, he woke up straight away, “Who turned off the light?” He said. He thought that there were ghosts, or spirits. Now he thought to himself that it wasn’t a good idea to come here after all. He walked outside and started to walk to the dungeon thing.  Up the rocks, heading to the large door, he thought this is the end, but it looks like it’s not.

The large door opened, he walked inside. There were paintings, draws and a small chest. He walked slowly up to the chest, a dusty old chest, he opens it slowly and he couldn't believe his eyes. There was a $100 bill with a piece of paper with some words on it. The words said, “You have found me, but there are many more…”. He stared a the $100 bill for a bit, wondering if he was still asleep, but he wasn’t. He walked around, shivering, looking around for more chests. He turned the corner and saw some stairs, he slowly walked up there, waiting for someone to pop out and scare him, or the stairs to brake. He got to the top, an empty room, but one chest at the back. Above the chest was a open window with a hole through it, like someone shot a bullet through there. He opened the chest and there was a booklet in there, with words saying on the cover, “Go back”. He thought about his brother, his friends and his parents. He had a tear in his eye when he remembered that his bunny wasn’t there.

He threw the booklet across the room, knocking a vase over. He was scared, happy and shocked, he ran down the stairs to outside just hoping this was all a dream. He grabbed a big stone off the ground and was hitting his head softly with it, then he threw it and his foot, but nothing happened except pain going straight through him. He ran back to the house, and ran out that door heading back towards where he came from. There was no portal, except a mountain, so he ran for the mountain and walked up it. He got to the top, there was no portal, he laid on the ground, wishing it was there, then he got knocked out by a stone. There was no one around that could of threw the stone, no animals around. He woke up, and the portal was there, maybe the portal is the one who threw the stone. He jumped up in surprise, he ran to the portal and closed his eyes.

Finally, he got back home,. He ran down the mountain and ran back to his house. He stopped in the driveway, hearing if anyone was inside, but it was silent. He opened the door, everyone was in the lounge watching tv, he ran to the couch and did a flip on the blankets. Everyone was still normal, but they didn't ask where he was. Jimmy laid on the couch, just thinking about what he went through, then he had a vision of the $100 Bill. It wasn’t in his hand, wasn’t in his pockets, but maybe, it was the price to get back home.
Learning Intentions ; to write a recount with the correct format. I think I have succeeded with this.
