By Bill Sayers

Part 1: the book of the dead

Chapter 1

"Hardware, aisle 12," said Ashley James Williams, "Shop smart, shop S-mart"

Ash was a tall, dark-haired young man of 21. his eyes were light brown which his girlfriend had always told him that.

His girlfriend, Linda Hunter was working at register number four as usual. She working as a cashier she was paying for ballet school, dancing was her passion.

"Hey Ash! We've only got five minutes to go!"

" I have some bad news" said Ash as he approached Linda, " I spoke to my mother on the phone a little while ago and she's telling me that my sister went through a horrible breakup. Now Mom is insisting that I take her along on our trip."

Linda had a very strange look on her face.

"I see." She sighed.

"You go ahead and clock out when the time comes. I'll have to phone up Scotty and tell him the news."

Scott Herman was a little shorter than Ash with blonde hair. Even though they have been friends ever since they were children, Ash and Scott didn't really have that many similar interests.

Scott had been more of an athlete who was into swimming while Ash was more of a bookworm type of guy who was studying engineering.

But they still like hanging out together and telling jokes to each other.
