Bradley Archer's
Stories
There's no question, Bradley loves writing short stories. Whether it's
re-telling an old legend, his attraction to strange occurrences, or
something that he pulled from his own mind, his stories provide some good,
thought-provoking fun.
 It
was midnight and old Mr. Nobody was walking down Parks Lane in Barking.
Mr. Nobody wasn't his real name, everybody called him it due to him being
a "nobody." He had thick eyebrows and wore a scarf, brown shoes, and
small, half-moon hat. That night was the last time he was seen. No one saw
him leave. His car was still at home. No bus had picked him up, not even a
cab. He couldn't have gone far, he was old and walked with a cane. He just
disappeared. My mate swore it was true. Many people have said they saw an
old person hanging around Parks Lane, but when they looked back, he was
gone.
One
time I was locked in a bin shed (a kind of rubbish place) and I saw a
white light in the corner of my eye. When I turned around, I saw my
granddad who has been dead for four years. I wasn't shocked because this
has happened before. I fainted that time. This time he said that
everything was OK and somebody will find me in five hours. I was wearing
a watch so I could tell if he told the truth. Five hours later, exactly on
time, a man with his dog opened the shed to put rubbish in. I always look
up to my granddad now and pray every night.
It
was 9:30 at night and George and John where hanging around outside
with "Kelly." They were headed up to the library and saw the big sign
which read, "closed at four o'clock, enter after dark if you dare." They
thought it was funny that they put up the signs and figured it was due to
cameras catching them -- boy were they wrong. They entered the library
which wasn't even locked. They were walking around the high shelves when
they saw a light. They walked up to it and saw that it was a lady wearing
a dress. The lady turned around and revealed one side of her which was
totally burned. The other side looked as if she had been paper-cutted to
death. What they did next was ran. They still have nightmares every night
and it happened five months ago.
My
mum and dad had to go out at the last minute and it was the first time
being on my own. I was watching TV when I heard a noise from upstairs. I
left the living room to see what was the matter. I went to the stairs to
see a man holding a knife saying "I killed my wife and kids and now its
your turn." At that moment my mum and dad came in and the dead man
disappeared.
A young boy
tragically died in a train accident. Actually, he jumped in front of the
train on purpose, so it was suicide really, not an accident. He was sent
to hell for this disgraceful act. The devil despises people who commit
suicide and punishes them harshly. The boy's punishment was to be reborn,
but this time, he is to be the devil's child. He must do horrible deeds to
ever be able to return to hell and have the life as royal emperor.
... When he was reborn, he decided that he didn't want to be an emperor,
so he did good deeds instead. This made the devil angry and he came up to
earth personally and used special powers against the boy. He was killed
again and sent to heaven. God praised him for his good work of defiance
against the devil, something most people are afraid to do. THE BOY IS A
NATURAL HERO.
A family of three
lived in a big mansion in Scotland. Each night, the family would go to bed
at 9:00 sharp. Most people thought this to be really early, but to this
family, it was really late. One night, they forgot to put out the fire in
the open fire space. It spread quickly and the family was found dead after
the fire. Still, they woke up the next morning. Well, each day is the same
for them. The day will always be June 28th, 2006. They always wake up on
that day, as they can't remember it being any other day. Not only did they
become ghosts, they become ghosts that have short-term memory loss. How
unfortunate. From then on, they didn't do anything but get up and wander
around the house like they would have done that day if they didn't die.
HOW UNFORTUNATE.
