A Date with an Executioner

By Donal O'Farrell, 5th class, Patrician Primary School.

"Every body into the car" shouted Mam as we got ready to go to the waxwork's. I hoped into the car and as soon as everybody was in the car Dad started it.
The drive was not long so we were there in almost no time at all. The waxwork's were in a tall dark old building. We hopped out of the car and made our way up to the dark gloomy building.

There was a man at the door. Dad told him about our booking and he let us by. First was the historic character's then there was the hall of fame and then at last was the chamber of horrors.

There was Dracula, Frankenstien, the whole lot. I went to all of the model's.
The place was packed and I got seperated from my family.

I wandered around until I found myself in a room that I had not been in. "They must be in here" I said to myself as I looked around. There was a executioner, a rack and a Guillotene but there was none of my family.

Suddenly the light's went out.

When they came on again the executioner had come alive and was coming towards me. I ran out of the room into the main hall and saw the other monsters come alive. None of the people were left only the moving monsters. I ran into another room and at the and of it there was a store room with old figures in it with missing limbs and distorted wax. I slammed the door but did not go in. Then I hid behind crate. The monster's ran into the store room.I slamed the door behind them. As I ran away I heard the executioner shouting. "I'll get you next time".

When I caught up with my family we went home.

On Monday teacher said "Were going to the waxworks for our school tour!"
