Prologue
Anthony lives in a lighthouse with his grandfather who is in his mid eighties. His parents are nowhere to be see and his grandmother had passed away when Anthony was a baby.
Chapter 1
My sharp pointed molars were shivering quickly. Although my skinny legs were bare, pulled tightly up to my knobbly knees was a pair of stripy, woolly and knitted socks. To cover my sucked-in stomach, I was wearing a murky grey garment, which my grandmother had stitched before she passed away. Finally, insulating my itchy feet, were a pair of hardcore leather ankle boots, which were slightly big but, nevertheless. 'Anthony!' my grandad cried. I pulled a confused face and replied with a shaky-toned 'Yes'. Robert Di Ravin, who was my grandfather, was still going strong despite being in his mid eighties. 'I need you!' As quick as a shot, my eyes pulled wide and ran up the spiralled stairs.
