Hey my name is Matthew and I work at an arcade place near the seaside.  I’m one of the cashiers there. Most people call me Mat for short. I give out prizes to people who one a game. Someone had told me once that it must be a terrible job but honestly it’s not that bad, I have a room to stay, I have a rusty old little fire they gave me for winter, it’s very old but it works. In winter I have loads of customers but however in winter there’s barely anyone.

A girl taps on the window beside me and begs for me to let her in. I stare at her blankley and say “the arcade is closed”. She was shivering and looked cold. Reluctantly I let her in confused, she was so desperate to get inside, she sits on a box, as I turned the fire on she whispers in my ear “hide me”.

Before I continue with what happens next, there was a story about our town. This happened quite a long time ago and no one knows the date when it happened or anything. It was a legend of a monster that walks in the dark on foggy nights, some people say they’ve seen it, a woman described it as “A panda with very sharp” She called it the Panda Mander.  Some others say they’ve heard scratches on their walls.

People say that the creature is searching for a lost child who had wandered ashore, and  had never left the land. Some are concerned if the lost child is dead or still alive it’s still unknown right now.

“Why do you need to hide?” I say confused “what’s wrong”

“I’ve seen it” she cried, suddenly there was a sound “Bang bang” someone had banged on the door…
