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”

Just then, the watch began to light up again, the light reached her eyes once again blinding her, she fell to the floor and saw only the colour white. “PAIGE! PAIGE! PAIGE!” she woke up to see her mum shouting in her face, her mum hugged her. “I was so worried Paige.” “What happened, your great grandfather came over and I came to get you but you were on the floor, you must’ve fainted.” “but great grandad John died, in the second world war” “what are you talking about, you know your great grandad always visits you on your birthday and almost every other holiday, and I’ve told you before, he almost died but a little girl saved him, another soldier said her name was Paige, that’s why we called you Paige and your great grandfather always used to say you look oddly similar to the girl who saved him.” She took her mums hand and they walked downstairs, they enjoyed their meal, Paige enjoyed her party, and best of all, she could live knowing that she saved her great grandfathers life, even if nobody else knew.
