I didn't know it was there until I saw it. What did my eyes just set upon? Not giving a care about the world, I was just strolling along. Confusion buzzed through my head as question upon question sprang to mind. What is that on the beach. I felt intrigued just then by what it was doing.

My curiosity took over me. I decided to go onto the beach to see what it was. As I strolled along the beach, I began to wonder. What is this? Why is it here? Is it dangerous? But all the while I kept a straight face. It stopped still. It looked like it was making a fire - Kensuke will be outraged by what he's doing. Then I began to feel an urge to go and tell Kensuke. I stared at the thing; my eyes staring into its. I felt an itch, I scratched it casually and began to feel aggravated. I started burning up inside but managed to maintain my composure.

He was building something out of sticks. I didn't know what it was or if it was good or a threat. What was he doing? I'm cautious about it and Kensuke may not tolerate this.

After inquiring about if Kensuke will tolerate this puzzling creature's behaviour, I lumbered melancholically back into the shadowy, gloomy and noisy forest. The cold, damp floor squelched underneath me as I strolled towards the majestic tree that was no longer there. I was furious.

As I was gathering coconuts from up a tree, I looked up at the hill and saw a small hairless 'thing' with a big branch climbing the hill.I quickly ran up te other side. Now I was just a few metres away I could see it was a human...

My curiosity swelled. What was it? Is he one of us? All he could seem to do was tremble as he placed my precious trees on an increasingly large pile.

I'm curious due to the fact a totally different creature, alien or animal is trespassing over my land. I try to lock my curiosity up so I do not frighten it but I think my presence has already. I have never seen anything so bald. I wonder where it has come from. What is it doing with my tree that I use for keeping my infants safe at night from the midnight shadows.

What was this creature? Who was he? I was just looking around and there he came treespassing on Kensuke's island. Would he tolerate this thing disturbing all the creatures on the island?

Susan and Ned were driving through a dark and gloomy empty section of highway. Lightning flashed, thunder roared, the sky went dark in the torrential downpour.
     “We’d better stop,”  said Susan worriedly.      Ned nodded his head in agreement. He stepped on the brake, and suddenly the car started to slide on the slick pavement. They plunged off the road and slid to a halt at the bottom of an incline.
     Pale and shaking, Ned quickly turned to check if Susan was all right.  When she nodded, Ned relaxed and looked through the rain soaked windows. 
     “I’m going to see how bad it is,” he told Susan, and when out into the storm. She saw his blurry figure in the headlight, walking around the front of the car. A moment later, he jumped in beside her, soaking wet. 
      “The car’s not badly damaged, but we’re wheel-deep in mud,” he said. “I’m going to have to go for help.”
      Susan swallowed nervously. There would be no quick rescue here. He told her to turn off the headlights and lock the doors until he returned. 
     Axe Murder Hollow. Although Ned hadn't said the name aloud, they both knew what he had been thinking when he told her to lock the car.  This was the place where a man had once taken an axe and hacked his wife to death in a jealous rage over an alleged affair. Supposedly, the axe-wielding spirit of the husband continued to haunt this section of the road and ever since this road has barley been used.
      Outside the car, Susan heard a shriek, a loud thump, and a strange gurgling noise. But she couldn't see anything in the darkness.
      Frightened, she shrank down into her seat. She sat in silence for a while, and then she noticed another sound.  Bump. Bump. Bump.  It was a soft sound, like something being blown by the wind. 
      Suddenly, the car was illuminated by a bright light.  An official sounding voice told her to get out of the car. Ned must have found a police officer.  Susan unlocked the door and stepped out of the car.  As her eyes adjusted to the bright light, she saw it.
      Hanging by his feet from the tree next to the car was the dead body of Ned.  His throat, which was pouring out with blood had been cut so deeply that he was nearly decapitated. The wind swung his corpse back and forth so that it thumped against the tree. Bump. Bump. Bump.
     Susan screamed and ran toward the voice and the light. As she drew close, she realized the light was not coming from a flashlight. Standing there was the glowing figure of a man with a smile on his face and a large, solid, and definitely real axe in his hands. She backed away from the glowing figure until she bumped into the car.  
      “Playing around when my back was turned,” the ghost whispered, stroking the sharp blade of the axe with his fingers. “ I killed my wife and I have plenty more people to kill as well as her!
      The last thing Susan  saw was the glint of the axe blade in the eerie, incandescent light.
