Grandma's locket
NO! YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME! I was struggling to breathe…
2 days ago…
It all began when I looked down to see this new locket my grandma had just place around my neck. It looked old but new as if she’d just bought it. But there was something I didn’t like about that locket. I felt it as soon as she put it on me and smiled as if she knew what was going to happen. Later that day decided to look in the locket to see if grandma had put a special picture in. I read the letters in black bold: RELLIK.
What?! I thought! RELLIK? As I read the name confused I looked over my shoulder to see my grandma sniggering to herself. Ignoring this event, I took the piece of paper out my locket and decided to head upstairs. Hmm! RELLIK I thought. What does that mean it’s got to be something than just a name. So then, as curious as I am I decided to type on the internet: RELLIK. I quickly clicked on the images as I heard grandma making her way up the stairs. I looked on the computer screen… My heart sunk. And my breathing started to get heavier and heavier and heavier until I could only just breathe…
It read:RELLIK spelt backwards KILLER! Grandma was coming in my room! I had found all the evidence! I knew from the day she asked if I would live with her that she was always weird but I didn’t think I’d make a story about her weirdness! I gasped. Grandma opened the creaky wooden door a plastic knife in her hand. I took a deep breath and spoke softly: Grandma. I paused. You’re a killer! She laughed.
“Me? A killer? I was just making our roast dinner for tonight darling?” she laughed.
“What but what about the Rellik name.” I questioned.
“I made the whole thing up for you, it’s a good thing you’re so protective of yourself”, leading me out my room and down the stairs “but I would never do something like that to you” strongly spoke Grandma. But little did I know, she was carrying a real metal knife behind her back…
2 minutes later, GRANDMAAAA!!!!!!!
Made me jump. A terrific twist that took me by surprise.
