It was a quiet and spooky night at the Lilston town museum there wasn’t a person in sight then suddenly speakers blasts out a loud siren that wakes up the whole town then suddenly police come running out of police cars and a man wearing all black comes sneaking out of the museum unseen by any police man, how do I know all of this well that’s because I saw this happen with my own eyes ,I was in bed when I heard the sirens and so I got out of bed and went to my window and let tell you things were getting really intense.
Now I really want to see what’s going on so I’m going to do what any idiotic 11 year old would do, go and follow the man in black. So first I need to somehow get past my mum and dad I knew if they saw me I would be grounded for life well anyway I should get going ok here we go first I need to get down the stairs the coach that there sitting on is right under the stairs and if they look up I will be caught. So I’m slowly walking down the stairs and I see that there fast asleep I mean seriously its only 10 o’clock there always awake till 11 o’clock but that just makes my mission way easier.
So I’m out of the house and I’m so cold I mean I feel like it’s 3 degrees but anyway I should just get moving. I spotted the man in black near a large bin so what do I do I obviously sneak up behind the man and attack now, I can tell my karate teacher that I practiced as soon as he fell to the ground I took of his mask and… it turned out the man was a girl? So the first thing I did was ask one simple question “who are you and what are you doing here?” she replied with a voice extremely familiar but I feel like I have never heard that voice before “who am I well I shall not say but I know exactly who you are” I feel so scared I mean is this someone I know or has this person been following me, so I ask again “who are you and what are you doing here” I said in a voice that sounded as if I was angry but I was feeling very scared and finally I got an answer “well I’m your conscious and right now you just talking to yourself thinking that this is really happening but let me tell you something people are probably all asleep and your outside waking them up and it’s all because you drank that weird potion at the museum” “so none of this is happening” I said “yep your just delusional” she said
And that’s how I met my conscious.
