The Heart Of Gold

On a dark grim and gloomy day, two impoverished brothers, their names were Billy and Barry, went to a spooky abandoned hotel seeking the heart made of gold. Legend has it that the heart can only be found at 456 Lair street (the wicked ditched hotel), some say that it has mysterious and magical powers, but no seeker knows if it really has powers. But older Billy and younger Barry were about to find out! For some unusual reason the book of legends was actually persuading them to go find the mystical heart of gold and it has a perplexing riddle that you have to figure out to know how to get in and out. While they were figuring out the tiring riddle they heard a massive “KAPOW”, it was an unexpected strike of lightning and thunder mixed, and it came out of nowhere. “What in the world just happened? I don’t know if that was thunder or lighting!” screamed Barry, “by the way, it was both and why did it hit the old unused hotel” Billy answered thoughtfully. Just as Billy was going to say something he noticed that his little 5 year old brother had gone missing, his parents would be furious! Suddenly he heard his brother screaming “MAP! MAP! MAP!”, and unlucky Billy had to go into the haunted abandoned hotel. As Billy crept into the dark hotel he felt as scared as ever in his life. Then he remembered his loving brother, and don’t forget the unforgettable golden heart! He sneaked up the creaking wooden staircase, just as he was about to turn the spiky corner he heard someone whispering “cooooomme iiiiiinnn” but it wasn’t his brother because Barry’s voice was high pitched and that voice was extremely deep. Well then what was that thought Billy? Suddenly he heard a huge scream, he could tell it was his brother. It was coming from the bathroom! He scurried to the room to find his brother getting attacked by a transparent GHOST! He thought quickly and grabbed a cold loose tile from the crooked floor, Billy started hitting the ghost but it wasn’t working because ghosts can go though things. Then Barry remembered in a book that if you breathe in really deeply you will swallow the ghost, so he did exactly that. Just as he was sucking up the ghost, Billy noticed that in the smelly gross toilet was the HEART OF GOLD! Barry just finished eating the ghost. Billy went ahead and grabbed the golden heart. As his single pinkie finger touched the incredible heart of gold he found himself eating an expensive dinner, but not at the edge of the closed supermarkets it was at a castle with his family. A day went by and Billy and Barry remembered their past, so they decided to give the gold out to the poor children and families. THE END
