i sipped my refreshingly cold coke and stared out at the beautiful ocean, nah not really in reality i was in a hole starring at the dead body of a teacher. all that was left of her was bone with maybe a couple leathery scraps of skin and some strands of hair, even her clothes were gone.

"Ok well Ryan hand me the box of matches" i said taking my eyes of the body for a moment.

suddenly gasps sounded from above and i watched as Ekkia pointed a shaking hand behind me. relutantly i turned and almost yelped in fear Ms. Tetree was sitting up a smile plastered onto her skull. well ok then i thought watching terrified as she shakily started to get up. i tried scrambling out of the grave but being so much smaller than everybody else i was finding it difficult. finally after a couple of failing efforts Fletcher put his hand down, by this time i could hear Ms.Tetree close behind. i jumped skimming his fingers but unwilling to give up i jumped again this time getting a firm grip on his hand, slowly he started pulling me up with me scrabling furiously at the walls of the grave. suddenly as i neared the top i felt a skelatal hand wrap around my ankle, i kicked with all my might until finally i was released from her grip, then i was thrown out that pit. without even giving myself time to recover i grabbed the nearest weapon, a pitchfork, and  attacked Ms. Tetree. Ryan threw a match into the grave and we all stood back listening to her shrieks of pain and anger. well we learnt our lesson, no more opening coffins. for the rest of the time we left the coffin closed and just burned it until all 23 coffins had been burnt, it was then that the ground started to rumble and shake. we all hudled watching with big eyes as a well emerged. it was made of stone and when we dropped a rock down there, there was no sound, but this was what we needed to get out i just knew it.
