Let me introduce you to Alfie. He was a only child so all the attention was his. Because of this, he would get slapped across the back whenever he made a mistake . He went to a poor boarding school in Leeds which was quite a long way away so this would make his mother anxious. It was the only free school around . He loved books and would spend all day reading them, however this he knew was not allowed. His mother hated books and she would punish him every time she caught him. The only reason she hated books is well, it was just the way she was brought up. His favourite book was called the Male Whale which was about a male whale who was a postman. Alfie was not a normal boy in fact he was special. He played football for the Leeds United academy and He was captain. He was about 11 when it happened. He was on a walk with his mother to the playground , he ran ahead with the playground in sight when a man came up to him and before you could say the word antidisestablishmentarianism the man punched him in the face. Soon after Alfie's mother arrived. At first she couldn't work out where her son was , then she saw it. " Alfie is that you" the mother screamed. Then out of the corner of her eye she saw something, she just ignored it but then heard something coming from the exact same place. Then she got up, walked around a bit but she couldn't see anything. She did not think another thought before she decided it was to late, her son was dead.nThe next day, Alfie's mother was reading the newspaper when saw an article about an escaped prisoner from Durham prison. "That must be the man who killed Alfie" she exclaimed. Suddenly she got up and sprinted as fast as she could to the police station. ( which wasn't very fast ) They said they were already searching for him and that was all they could do. She thought it would be a good idea to bury Alfie. After a few phone calls, she had it all sorted. She would bury him and have small funeral for his family.
Then she cried and cried and cried and cried and cried and so on for the rest of the day.The day of the funeral happened so quickly, Alfie was buried ( In st. Cuthbert church for your total information) and then it was time for the devastating funeral. After all that everyone just clasped sadly in bed. The next few days, Alfie's mum found it hard to survive, you see . Alfie's parents had broken up. It was some sort of argument about financial duties. Alfie was 2 years old when it came along, he remembered it coming so fast, one moment they were losing money and then next father just ran away and never came back.
Meanwhile Alfie was having a miracle, he was not dead he was awake but under the ground . What's more was that nobody knew about it and he had no idea where he was. Firstly he tried to dig and then tried to call out but there was nothing in reply. Soon after a slimy thing slithered all over him . " I'm not under ground am I ? " said Alfie
" I think you'll you are " said the slimy thing which he now thought was a worm. Then there was silence . Soon after the worm said, " My name is Jeffrey
and yours "he said staring up at Alfie." A-l A-l Alfie "he stammered .
How did this happen to me ? " Alfie said to himself one day. He had been under the ground for a few days now. Then he remembered that weird looking man that he met in his way to the playground. He couldn't remember anything else after that. "Him It was him . "
"It was who ? " asked Jeffrey.
"The person who knocked me out. " Said Alfie . He had now worked out that he must have been in a grave . " Meet my friend badger" said Jeffrey
" Hi badger " Alfie gently said.
"Hello" bellowed badger.
" Now there is a problem, rat is trying to kill us...
