CHAPTER 1

Philip, the police officer, Helen, the high court judge, and Carol, the school teacher all got an invitation to live in a bungalow on an island for 5 days. They were so excited they packed and left immediately. They arrived in 4 hours. After they got there they were all greeted by the housekeepers Esther and Rodger they were husband and wife. They relaxed for some time and afterward, they sat down to have some dinner when suddenly the radio started playing and it talked about all the illegal crimes everyone was involved in after that, it sang a poem

Five little people sitting at a table one went for a night stroll and then there were four...

Four little people sitting at a table one went to the garden and then there were three...

Three little people sitting at a table one went to the bathroom and then there were two...

Two little people sitting at a table one went to sleep and then there was one...

One little person sitting at a table he vanished into thin air and then there were none !! “

All of them were scared except Philip he said “haha this is just some prank. I am off to go on a jog at night. You can go to sleep without me, I will take a long time to come back” saying so Philip went on a jog, Everyone was tired and went to sleep.

CHAPTER 2

The next day when they woke up they could not find Philip. He had gone missing they all searched the whole island but they could not find anyone. Helen asked Esther to check the garden if Philip was there. Esther did so, but after that even Esther went missing. She was not found anywhere; everyone started getting worried. They started to look around and found an old torch in the attic. They figured out that it still works, they used it to send a morse code to civilization that they were I trouble. After they sent an SOS signal, they sat down for dinner Helen said “Who do you think this person is they sound dangerous how are they nowhere to be seen on this island?” Carol said, “Maybe they have something against us, what did we do I mean sure we came here but do you guys think that the owner of this bungalow did it ?? no one knows who they are maybe there is a secret path or something in this place?”

Helen said, “ I don’t know. Anyway I am done with my dinner I am tired. I climbed that mountain over there today to see if Philip was there. Good night”. As soon as Helen went up Rodger and Carol heard a scream from Helen

CHAPTER 3

They rushed upstairs to Helen’s room and found out the scream was because her room was filled with sand there was sand everywhere. “Oh!! no …now I have to clean all of this. This is gonna take forever I wanted to sleep!! oh no !! How did all of this even come here ?? I love to be clean, can you guys help me please?” said Helen “SURE,” said Carol and Rodger together “JINX Rodger! don’t speak ..hahaha ok you can speak now,” said Carol “hahaha very funny Carol I guess you are still a child teaching children at that school of yours. Let it go you are an adult now. Anyway let's just help Helen I know how tired she is she needs to sleep.” said Rodger ”ok ok I just wanted to have some fun,” said Carol.

1 hour later

“OK, we are finally done. I can’t believe it took just 1 hour .. it felt like it took hours.. thanks again for helping me... if it was just me then I am sure that I would never sleep, thank you so much. Oh my, I think I drank too much of that lemonade at dinner I need to use the bathroom be right back.” Said Helen and ran to the bathroom “hahaha.. oh my... run Helen run” said Rodger “hey don’t make fun of her when you gotta go you gotta go” said Carol

20 minutes later

“Huh, that's so unusual who spends 20 minutes in the bathroom. I better go check on her” said Carol “ya good idea you should do that” said Rodger. Saying so Carol went near the bathroom “ err that's weird.. the door is unlocked” saying so Carol opened the door and screamed.” What happened Carol?? why are you screaming?? is everything OK” enquired Rodger.
