slowly a black figure crept across the pitch-black lawn unaware that he was getting watched. high up in a tree an owl watched the figure with black beady eyes. ‘Stupid bird!’ he said as quietly as he could as he tried to shoo it away. the figure stepped into the square shaped house. He stepped on a creaky piece of wood beneath his feet he jumped back startled. the sound woke the owner of the house and in about three minutes he is now there in the room with him. ‘When will he leave?’ he asked himself in his head not wanting an answer he noticed he was looking at a lump on the floor.  sounding like a low budget squeaky toy a ferret came out from beneath the rug and ran to the black figure out of sight he picked it up put it in his pocket and ran out the door across the lawn and into the sunshine ‘after all this time I found you!’ he said with delight.
