When Eloise arrived home exhaustion swept over her. She quickly took of her shoes and coat. She walked into her living room and lay down on her sofa, she tiredly stretched and gave a satisfied sigh. Her living room was an organised mess, full of books and paper, she could hardly see the floor. Reaching down she picked up the nearest book and began reading it. Luckily she hadn't read this book, that was a bad habit of hers she would buy books and never read them or she would start books and never finish them.
Eloise finished the book in a couple of hours, she was a quick reader and she was thankful for that. Eloise felt a feeling of accomplishment wave over her, it had been an interesting book. She decided she would go and find out what other books the author had written, but first she needed to eat.
Looking around the kitchen, she found hardly any food. The only thing she did find was crumpets. It would have to do, she put them in the toaster. While she waited, she heard her letter box open and what sounded like a letter hitting the floor.
Eloise didn't know the postman came around this time, after all it was 8pm. She slowly walked to her front door, hoping it wasn't someone playing a prank. By her front door there was a large brown envelope, there was no return address on it.
The envelope felt like a pillow with a paper case. As soon as Eloise opened the the letter, large black feathers poured onto the floor. Hidden among the feathers was a folded piece of paper.
On the top right hand corner 'I know what you did." had been written. Paranoia and confusion took over Eloise's mind. She wasn't sure what she had done, she wondered if she had done something terrible without even knowing. Soon, her mind was swimming in questions.
Eloise came to the conclusion that this was definitely a prank, still it didn't calm her nerves.
Suddenly, it hit her, she had left her crumpets unattended.
"My crumpets!" Eloise exclaimed, quickly running to her kitchen, hoping they hadn't gone cold.
