Ex. Name: Pinco Pallino Date: 30 th March My name is Elizabeth. I was eighteen when I was murdered on July 2st, 2009, just before I broke up on a holiday. Back then I didn’t know that I was murdered. I thought that I was just dreaming. That all that happened to me was a fairytale. Back then I didn’t know that things like this could ever happen to anyone. That’s the thing about life: you never know what will happen next. In a book I bought three years before I was murdered, one of my friends wrote me a quote "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." I will never forget it... On June 3rd on the way back from school, I stopped near the park. I noticed there was a little space, covered with a fence on one side and hedge on the other. The entrance was overgrown with flowers and covered with sticks. It was a size of a very small room. It made me wonder a little as I had never seen anything like this before. it was a fantastic place, really fantastic. I went home. I was already late for the dinner. My parents started keeping asking me where I was. I explained that I had to stay after lessons. They trusted me. However my head was still full of thoughts. On the next day after school I stopped at the same place as before. I heard a male voice behind me. "Elizabeth, are you all right?" It was my friend Thomas. He was the only person I could speak to in school. I never had many friends. Maybe because I was too shy. "Yes" I said and turned back to face him. The weather was really beautiful. I could see hundreds of small children playing around. The wind lightly blowing the leaves into the grass. I remember it like it was yesterday....  Stefania Franchi 5th April I asked Thomas If he would like to visit my fantastic place.He thought a little bit about my proposal and then he accepted. We walked for ten minutes and finally arrived to the little place. When he saw it, he was speechless and then he said to me:”But I know this place!! Some days ago I took my dog for a walk when suddenly it started raining so we took refuge in this place. While I was waiting the rain finished, I heard the voice of a woman who was whispering:”Help me”.

Filippo Poli 6th April Thomas felt that doesn't tell the truth. I didn't know to talk to him about this magnificent place. He curiously asked me if hiding something. I decided to show him my secret place. After a few minutes walking his cell phone rang. Thomas said. It was a voice saying not to trust me and not to go there. Thomas said it was a horrible joke and turned off the phone.The he took my hand and we walked to the place.

Giulia Degli Esposti 7th April 2010 ​When we arrived, Thomas said: "it's wonderful place! Why have you never said you knew this place since I'm your bes friend?". I replied that I didn't tell him because I discovered it very recently and I thought that it's a very cute thing and a very child's idea. Thomas answered: "No, it isn't. I thing that it's a very ingenious idea because I believe that we're building our secret place!". I said: "I hadn't thing about this aspect!". Thomas replied:"Perfect, next days we'll start to change the outlook!".

//I decided to take him at the beautiful place. But when we arrived there, it was really different from yesterday because there were withered trees and it was very dark. The place was really frightening. Thomas said:"Is this a horrible joke?!" He was very angry with me. I tried to explain him that the place it was different from yesterday, but he didn't believe me. He ran away and I have been alone. I have start to cry and I was really frightened, so I decided to return home when I felt a strong noise...//

Ilaria Lauritano 9th Aprol I turned and I saw Mr. Rushmore, my neighbour, riding on his bike. I was saying hallo when I realized he was carrying a dog in agony in his parcel grid. That's what was that noise!!! He asked me for help but I didn't know what to do. It started to rain thus he asked me to accompany him home. Then he would have called a veterinarian. We walked along a muddy path for a long time. It was round midnight: probably my parents had already called the police. Actually we were always in the same place. He invited me to enter that strange place I had found the day before. I trusted him. He was my neighbour! A very kind and respectable person, until then...

__Anna Magliozzi 11th April__ It was a truly magical place. I convinced my friend to show up and we walked. We arrived near the park I didn’t see the fence and the entrance was overgrown whit flowers, but everything was dark, withered, and the games were all on the ground. Seemed there was an earthquake. Tom looked at me and plotting said, "This would be a magical place! you kidding me?" "No Tom! Yesterday was all so flowery and so fantastic! Thing will never happen?" "I do not know Elizabeth, but I fear going home." He walked. The girl was still trying when he realized that his friend was already on the way back. meanwhile, ran after him and called him but when he turned around he was only.

Martina Serrao 11th April I said to Thomas :"please shut up and follow me.." and Thomas said, swallowing: "where.. where are we going?" I answered:" follow me." When we arrived Thomas was surprised. He thought a lot and after he said:"well.. this place, it's, it's beautiful. But.." and I quickly said:" but..?" Thomas continued:" years and years ago, in this park a girl was murdered. But nobody has found the corpse. Only hers blue eyes and her hair was found. This place is cursed. There are a lot of legend about this park. For example, one, say (Thomas was very scared and swallowing, he continued) '' In the night of the day 4th June, one blond girl will be killed by the wind." I said:" the wind?" "yes, the wind." Thomas answered. After a minute I saw the light of the sun fall in the dark. And I said: " Thomas, I'm scared. My hair, my hair wasn't blond. But, but SEE!" Thomas shouted because my hair become blond, I started to cry. We run away, far away. But the dark was around us and the wind started to whistle.

 curiously opened it..and just started to read it, found themselves in a mysterious place..they were no longer in the ancient library was in the dark, the only thing we could see was a light from a distant door. came frightened and incredulous, thinking that this was their only hope to get out of that darkness. but once beyond that ..

Brigaglia Naomi 18th April ​  something moved behind us, we screamed and began to run in the dark of the library, a shelf and accidentally tipped with a metallic noise opened a secret door inside which there hid overwhelmed by fear, and listened in silence, footsteps approaching ..........
