THE EMPTY HOUSE
(5,600 words)
Mr Johnston, who works "at being something like an accountant", decides to move into a house nearer the town. He chooses number 121 Witch Street, the Grumpy Browns old home. He receives a mysterious phone call warning him about the history of the house and about Witch Street in general, but nothing at all happens while he is moving in.
But Witch Street has a habit of providing the unexpected, and something is about to happen which will turn the sedate life of Mr Johnston upside down..
