IN CLASS editing practice
Stanley and his parents had tried to pretend that he was just going away to camp for a while just like rich kids do when Stanley was
younger he used to play with stuffed animals and pretend the animals were at camp camp Fun and Games he called it sometimes
he'd have them play soccer with a marble other times they'd run an obstacle course or go bungee jumping off a table tied to broken
rubber bands now Stanley tried to pretend he was going to Camp Fun and Games maybe he'd make some friends he thought at least
he'd get to swim in the lake
It was a bright sunny day when the children left the house for the mountain walk they each had a rucksack with the items they
needed for the day these consisted of ham sandwiches with thick slices of bread chocolate biscuits and bottled water they also each
had a light anorak in case of rain Samuel as he was the oldest carried the first aid kit it had bandages and antiseptic lotion in it it made
his rucksack heavier but he was bigger than the others so he didn’t notice the extra weight
I found him in the garage on a Sunday afternoon it was the day after we moved into Falconer Road the winter was ending mum had
said we’d be moving just in time for the spring nobody else was there just me the others were inside the house with Doctor Death
worrying about the baby he was lying there in the darkness behind the tea chests in the dust and dirt it was as if he’d been there
forever he was filthy and pale and dried out and I thought he was dead I couldn’t have been more wrong I’d soon begin to see the
truth about him that there’d never been another creature like him in the world
