Dear Diary, July 22nd 2008
Last week my father got a new job. I couldn’t write you because we
moved from Paris to Lille. My parents bought a cottage in a small
village near Lille and we moved there last weekend. I left my friends
and changed my school, so I was very sad. The cottage was pretty,
but it was very old on the day we moved there, I had a funny feeling
when I went inside.
I remember it was a lovely hot summer’s day, but it was freezing
inside the cottage. When I walked into the kitchen for the first time,
I felt really strange and uncomfortable.
On our first night, I went to bed at about ten
o’clock. My mum was watching TV, my dad was
sitting in his room and working with computer and my sister was listening to the radio. I
couldn’t sleep, so I read a book. While I was reading I heard a noise. I looked at the clock. It
was midnight. I was thirsty, so I went downstairs. I saw an old woman in our kitchen. She was
sitting at the table. I couldn’t believe it. I looked at her and suddenly she disappeared. I felt
really frightened. Who was she? Why was she sitting in our kitchen?
I will write you soon …
Love from Pier
