Secret of the Skull
“Although his street was only a short walk from my own, the houses were very different. They were sort of boxish and arranged in pairs, two separate homes forming one chunky building. They had tall roofs and regularly-spaced windows, which made them look rather toy-like, as if some giant kid had clicked them all together to make a play road.
Skull’s house was towards the far end of the street. Unlike most of the neighbouring houses, his had a small porch built on to the front. There was also... a garage attached to the side, which I guessed was a fairly recent addition. Its shallow-sloped roof made it look like that giant kid had been in a hurry and left it leaning against the main bulk of the house.
Skull’s dad was cooking the tea, his mum was still at her desk in the dining room. (Both Skull’s parents worked from home, after having been made redundant from other jobs the previous year.) Great Aunt Mirna was sitting in the living room, flicking through a hefty catalogue from a DIY store.MoreLess
