iGCSE Writing to describe – The Glass Chandelier

There I was laying dead straight arms by my side in a stretcher and neck brace, being rushed to hospital, my vision was blurred and my body numbed. All I remember is the ambulance crew standing over me, lips moving but no words were coming out, I tried to move but no matter how hard I tried I just could not. The worst bit about all of this was that it was all silent…
I had just moved into my new house, four bedroom, two toilets and a lovely back garden, the area was very nice only three other houses in sight, the rest was woods. Tall bushy trees they were, and loads of them at that. I began to move my stuff in as you do, it was getting to about six in the evening and was already very dark so I decided to have dinner overlooking the woods. suddenly a loud banging noise comes from the door, I paused and walked over to the door and when I opened it, it was the neighbors on their way home, they had just stopped over to welcome me to the area. I was a bit freaked out but was grateful like anyone would. I was not really listening to them as I really wanted to get back to my tea, but I can remember them mentioning to be careful at night and avoid going out and something about remembering to lock the doors, I wish I had listened because later on it come back to bite me in the backside. It was morning and it was all bright and beautiful, the sun was shining and you could see for miles, nothing seemed unusual.
As the ebony night appeared I decided it was time to get to sleep, as I’m walking up the stairs I had nothing in my mind, I had not realized yet but I had forget to lock my front door. I’m in bed and I hear a noise, at the time I thought nothing to it and went to sleep. A loud bang wakes me up in the middle of the night, outside my window is the heavy darkness, the trees barely visible, I was scared at this point and I proceeded to walk downstairs to see what the thud was, as I emerge from the safety of the upstairs landing I can see my back door slowly creak open. I immediately felt a cold shiver rush down my spine from head to toe. Bravely I went to investigate, now if horror movies had taught me anything it was that this was a bad idea but it wasn’t a film so I thought it would be alright. As I slowly creped up towards the white wooden door blew wide open as a huge gust came rushing in. That was the moment when I realized that it was really windy that night as I locked the back door I went to check the front door and luckily it was locked, thinking I was safe I strolled back to bed. As I’m walking upstairs every light in the house turns off without a sound, well every light apart from the sculpted glass chandelier in the living room. I thought someone was messing with me so I shouted down “who’s there? Show yourself” And at that point the two locked doors blew right off their hinges as if there was an invisible explosion. I frantically sprinted upstairs and grabbed by torch and gun and slowly proceeded downstairs. I get to the bottom and I get the feeling of a cold hand resting on my shoulder… No one was there. I get a view of the living room with my wide beamed torch and I see a dark spot in the corner that seems to be moving then without a chance to blink I fired at that spot placing 3 bullet holes through my wall, I checked if something was still there and I couldn’t find any sign. I know that there was no one behind me but somehow I was pushed down the bottom few steps into my living room.
I had feel right underneath the glowing glass chandelier that swaying with wind, I tried my hardest but I couldn’t move not even a finger, I heard a shrill, dragged out child’s laugh as the chandelier came crashing down on top of me, I wasn’t I knocked out but I had lost all hearing and sense of feel and just as my eyes closed I saw a silhouette of a young Girl with long brunette hair. She blew a kiss and that was it, I was gone…
I write this as a statement for the authorities, I have just got back from re constructive surgery for my face but I’m ok, I’ll live. I suppose the moral of all of this is to make sure you lock your doors at night, because you never know who could be watching you…
