Happy Halloween everyone. I decided a short and spooky novella would be just the thing--so here goes.
Try and imagine that you are on the older side and you live alone. Your house is right near a barrow--which is a graveyard from people long ago. Now this doesn't bother Violet until one night she hears scratching on her window. What she sees is frightening but Violet decides to try and help the old skeleton--she leaves it food outside her door every night. The skeleton keeps coming back.
Violet figures out what the old skeleton wants and does something about it. Does it help? Read this short novel to find out!
