All was quiet and still in the deserted walkways and avenues that sweep through the ghostly shopping centre. A large Christmas tree stand tall in the middle of the shopping centre. Underneath the half-light tree there lay hundreds of presents stacked up on top of each other to form a pyramid shape twinkling lights that dance and shimmer in the light. A little boy no older then 7 stands in front of the tree on his head he we're a scarlet elf hat with tiny bells that twinkle as he takes tiny steps towards the door to match his hat someone has dressed him in a green and red jolly outfit, emblazed across his chest in bright gold letters spell Santa's Head Elf. All of a sudden the littles boys face turns into an evil grin from cheek to cheek, he runs out of the shopping centre with a bag over his shoulder. He knocked on a little girls door and leaves that same bag at her door step then runs away. BANG!
