Step in time (Short Story)
I sent this to my muggle school and won third place in a writing competition: “Paige, you’re finally sixteen so I think it’s time I show you something” and with that, her mother lead her up to the loft, lead her to the corner, where Paige saw a box, it was green with an army pattern and on top, it read ‘john smith’ the name of her grandfather. “What is this mum?” “This is a war box with your great grandfather’s old belongings, the things he had at wartime are in this box.” Paige took one step closer and began to open the box, but all that was there was a bunch of old junk. “why did you wait till I was sixteen to show me this junk” “it’s not junk, it’s the things your great grandfather had when he died”

The Watch
Chapter 1
In the city of London, on a Sunday morning, Paige woke up to her parents shouting Happy Birthday. Paige was finally sixteen, “yes, the day has finally arrived” she cheered and jumped. “Come on Paige, time for presents” she forgot her parents were still in the room but she didn’t care because she was sixteen. The family made their way downstairs, and Paige began to open her presents. Shortly after, the presents were all open. “Paige, you’re finally sixteen so I think it’s time I show you something” and with that, her mother lead her up to the loft, lead her in the corner, where Paige saw a box, it was green with an army pattern and on top it read ‘john smith’ the name of her grandfather. “What is this mum?” “This is a war box with your great grandfather’s old belongings, the things he had at war time are in this box.” Paige took one step closer and began to open the box, but all that was there was a bunch of old junk. “why did you wait till I was sixteen to show me this junk” “it’s not junk, it’s the things your great grandfather had when he died” “so did he die in this outfit” “yes he did” she took another look closer to see a watch. “I’ll let you look for yourself” Her mother walked downstairs and she reached into the box, and began to grab the watch, when the watch gave off a light, all around the box was glowing. The light reached her eyes and blinded her for a moment, soon enough, the entire room was filled with this extremely bright light, Paige fell to the floor as she fainted.
