Prologue

In a small unknown town, there stood a spooky shop in the middle of a village that is horribly haunted and never been visited before, the peculiar place is called the Haunted Emporium.

Even though when it’s the most haunted time of the year Halloween and all the pumpkins are lit up and the lights are up dangling with brightness over the shop. Even though the magical toys would try and beg you to come in you still look at the fascinating things. Even though you could smell the taste of fresh bread and the fresh chocolate that have just been made. Even though you heard the laughter from the tiny toys inside singing a song. Even though the displays were presented with beautiful sweets, toys, clothing and pencils. It has still never been visited by a human-being.

The Emporium had been stood there for 3 months and no-one has ever entered it that is until little Steven was walking home from school and saw the lights, even though his mum said don’t go in he was intrigued so he decided to disobey his mum and go in!

Chapter 1

Steven was always wondering what was inside the little shop. One rainy Friday evening, Steven was on his way home from school he stumbled across the shiny shop while walking down the slippery pavement, but she noticed something unusual about the Emporium, the door was opening with a sign saying come in come in we’ve got some toys, sweets and accessories. So, because Steven is a mischief maker and his mum told him not to go in, he disobeyed his mum and went in.

Everywhere he looked, it was all wonderous accessories and glistening things. he saw a bright yellow canary singing a song, golden and silver accessories like necklaces, bracelets and statues, a lot of hand painted clocks, shoes that bounce up and down 5 feet, a pencil and a notebook that has a special ability which is whatever you draw in the book with the pencil it comes to life, a bowl of sweets, bread and chocolate freshly made waiting to be eaten on the counter, a set of army figures that have several guns and are rotating and fighting on a battlefield, a fish tank with fake fish made on cardboard and have diamond pearls and emeralds on in not-so-wet water and books that have pages on pages of colouring arts from different famous artists.

Steven looks straight for more things but instead locks eyes with the shopkeeper ‘’I see you’ve wondered into my shop what could I get you today?’’ Steven looked in shock at the shopkeeper with a black Cat walking next to him. Steven stared at the cat and the shopkeeper said ‘’ Do you like my cat? She’s like my best friend.’’ Steven stared in amazement but suddenly the shopkeeper spoke out again ‘’ Could I interest you in some crazy comics perhaps if your nice I could give you one for free?’’ Steven instantly said ‘’Yes please!’’
