One day i was out playing on my bike when i seen a boy playing on his front garden red stripey top jeans soccer shoes he called me over and he told me my bike was cool i told him to have a turn he said he couldnt but he acted worried as though he never wanted his parents to see us playing together we played for days on his porch and id always go home and see him the next day in his garden in the same clothes one day i asked him for a drink of water but he said he said no i said why not he said he wasnt aloud inside or aloud to get me water so i got angry and rode my bike back home to get myself water we wernt as friendly after this and he wasnt as happy and giggly as he had been but one morning i went to the corner house to see him And he was excited he had found something he wanted to show me it was an old pick axe he told me to pick it up i said you do it he said he cant and was very pushy tellin me to do it so i picked it up and he told me to chop the wood i said no he said do it so i did when but when i chopped the wood it flew up into my eye i coukd see red and white all around me and i ran home screaming the boy stood laughing in a eary way i ended up in hospital my mum took me and im blind in my right eye when i got home from hospital i drove past his home and my mum told me it was sad that the house was abandoned its beautiful but the owners left when there son died from a pick axe accident in the garden at that moment i realised my friend i had played with all along was a ghost boy
