Come Out, Come Out!

Have you ever looked closely at a crack in the wall? Notice how dark and dusty it can be. But take a closer look at this one... Is it just a crack, or could it be a home to a mysterious creature? What might it be? Oh, look! Big, yellow, twinkling eyes. Do you know who they belong to? Is the creature big or small? Friendly or dangerous? Can you guess who’s hiding in the wall? Is this creature alone, or does it have friends that share its cozy home? Wait a minute! There’s a small blue bag of crumbs. What’s going on here? Is the creature about to embark on an adventure, or will it stay hidden, safe and sound? Perhaps it’s frightened or feeling sad. Let’s encourage it to come out so we can see who’s there. Come out, come out, little creature. You’re not alone; we won’t hurt you. We just want to know if you’re all by yourself in this curious crack in the wall.

Alice was born in 1999 and is the youngest of five children. Alice had an enjoyable childhood and it wasn’t until her early teens that Alice turned to creative writing, allowing her to escape the outside world. Alice now lives in a small town in South London with her partner and two small children, who, like Alice, enjoy the imaginative world of stories. Alice often makes up stories at bedtimes for her children and, as the love of these stories grew, she decided it was time to put the stories into writing, allowing others to have a chance to explore something new and exciting.
