Aisha's Haunted Days

Chapter One

The All TooMystirious Woman

One sunny lovely perfect day, Aisha went to visit her best friend Maryam, they had been Best Friends Forever since they were 5 years old, now they were almost 12. When she got to Maryam's super, un-discribeably big Mansion, a woman she did not know opened the front  door. "Yes?" she asked. "Umm....Assalamoalaikum, I came to visit Maryam," Aisha told her with a hint of  extreme confusion in her voice as she had never no never ever seen the old woman in Maryam's house, neither had Maryam ever, ever,ever, no never mentioned her, and by now, Aisha had thought she knew all about Maryam's family!

"Oh! Yes, yes, come in. Maryam is not at home right now, but she will be in some time, I expect, she's always leaving like this, without telling, and when you need her, pops in the house"

Now Aisha was even more confused, Maryam had told her that she would be home when Aisha came, but she wasn't! Maryam would have telephoned her if she needed to go somewhere and told her not to come, given her another time to come, but she hadn't, Aisha smelt a rat, not a dog, not a cat, But. A. Rat. Nevertheless Aisha came in the house, sat down on the gigantic magenta sofa, where a photo on the gigantic table caught her eye. Aisha picked up the photo.

The woman sat down beside her, and despite being an absolute stranger to Aisha, she had an extremely kind face.

"What is this?" Aisha asked, holding up the photo. 

"That, is a monster molded from clay made out of dirt and brought to life," the woman told Aisha.

Hearing this, Aisha could not hold back her low pitched giggle. Normally nobody ever heard Aisha's giggles, but the woman heard it.

"You don't believe me, do you? I took that picture myself, with my own bare hands. I'll tell you the story." The woman said
