The Year My Life Broke (2013)
“Mum and Dad were both working and Pippa was at some dance class she’d joined. Callan and I were doing a bit more on the tree house. We’d been really slack about it for weeks and now I wanted to get it finished. From time to time I glanced at the place next door, to see whether the eye would reappear. I kind of wanted it to, and I didn’t. It was disturbing and exciting at the same time.
At one point I looked over there, looked back at the nail I was hammering, bashed it with the hammer, look...ed back at the place next door, and to my astonishment, as if by magic, a kid was standing in the yard looking at us. I don’t know how he had appeared in, like, three seconds. I’d say he was maybe ten years old, skinny, with black hair but a very pale face, like he’d been in the house all his life and never seen sunlight before.
Then a big burly-looking man in a suit came out of the back door. He looked up at us too, and said something to the kid.MoreLess
