the HALLWAY HORROR
YOUR LOGO HERE
The Horror lurks in a room in the hallway. When it’s dark, or when you’re alone, it comes out, stretches its legs, and creeps through the house. Wherever you hide, the Horror will find you. But in the end the Horror isn’t so bad.

Just where the hallway at home bends around a corner there is a room full of old junk and great, big wardrobes. This is where the hallway horror hides.

The horror is not black, nor is it grey. It’s just dark.

It is neither hairy nor hairless. It is like a blurred photograph, a tangled knot of yarn, a beast in the night.

Every evening after dinner Daddy says, “Go and put your pyjamas on” and Mummy says, “Go and brush your teeth.”

And I have to go all the way down the hallway. I turn on as many lights as I can, and I count one, two, three. I stand perfectly still and then I make a run for it!

Or sometimes I make up a really complicated dance.

Or I sing really loud so I can’t hear the hallway horror puffing.
