Ok, this is my first story, so please be kind, review, and leave any advice for me if you have it.
This was a project for school, and it took me twelve minutes. It freaked all the boys out, and my teacher loved it

Enough rambiling, read forth!
The Fear of the Garden
The sun had just set, and the still air was slightly frightening. Len was following his sister, Rin, to a place she called her 'secret garden'. He had tried to convince his sister that they shouldn't go out at night, especially with a murderer on the loose.
"We're here!" Rin exclaimed, slowly opening a rotting, old, wooden gate. She motioned for her brother to go before her, and then shut the gate behind her.
The smell of decaying flesh hit Len like a punch in the face. Casting his eyes across the 'garden', he resisted the urge to throw up. When he thought of a garden, he thought of flowers and orange trees, not this. Taking unsteady steps towards the gate, he tripped over a thick uprooted root. A sick squelching sound came from under him and he realised he had fallen on one of the 'flowers'.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his arm, and as he turned his head, he saw a pair of secateurs pinned in his arm. Painfully, he tried to pull himself up, only for a can of pesticide to spray him in the face. Crying in pain, everything started to go black, and the last thing he heard was the giggling of his sister.
