The takeover



One day, in an old town called Spooksville, a strange loud noise was coming over the mountain. The ground quaked and the people that lived in the town were shaking with fear. A few days passed and the quaking stopped but a boy named Tom thought otherwise. Tom was the son of the local baker Mr. Manchester. Tom was an ordinary 7 year old but he had an extremely wild imagination. He thought that this was just a little warning and that there was going to be an attack. So, he went to the library and told his grandma (Tom's grandma was the librarian, also known locally as “the crazy lady”).

His grandma gave Tom an old dusty book titled “legends of spooksville”. She flicked through to a page that read “spooks gloop”. Such story spoke of an old scientist’s lab on top of the mountain. The scientist was researching about a toxic acid. But one day, when the scientist was doing a test on the acid,whole a giant gloop moster rose from the acid and ate the old man completely. The legend says that the scientist will rise from the death on October 31st 2019 ,at 3:15 to get his revenge. Tom looked at the big grandfather clock and it was 2:58.

So,Tom hurried to the top of the mountain and he saw an army of big, green, slimy monsters headig towards Spooksville. Then, Tom ran to tell his uncle, who was the the head of the police,what was going on but his uncle didn’t believe him. As a consequence, Spooksville was doomed but they didn’t even know it yet.
