The Curse of Clark's Island

chapter 7

Grandma sent and Zack and Sarah to bed at 10. Sarah read a book until about 11:30. Grandma and Grandpa went to bed. Sarah slid down the stairs to the bottom. She snuck out the back door to the shed to get a flashlight. She cut through the back of the house to a path that ran from the south end of the island to the north. She nearly jumped 10 feet into the air when a buck fawn jumped into her path. When she climbed to the top of the rock she saw the stars and the moon lighting up the sky. She closed her eyes and prayed that the spell would be broken when she said the words. "Here goes nothing." She muttered. She said
"At the end of the day
You will listen to what I say
I want to be Sarah Hobson
In the year 2014"
Then a faint light appeared at the end of the field. Like the light on the tip of an anglerfish. It drew closer at nearly the speed of light. Then you could see detail come into play. It was a face. Then a body formed. It was the ghost of Gladys Eversmith. She didn't talk. She just let out an evil laugh. Then a bright light almost blinded Sarah. Her whole life flash before her eyes. Then it wasn't dark anymore. It was bright and sunny. There was a book lying on her stomach. A cell phone sat next to her. She was on the couch she had fallen asleep on. Her family was eating dinner at the table. She couldn't explain how nice it was to be back. She hugged him and said she was so glad to have them.
