Thank you very much for taking the time to read and comment. I apreciate it. The punctuation issues can be sorted out easily enough, sadly that is my weak point but practice makes perfect.

I was aware when I wrote the story that abandoned house/creepy little girl has probably been done to death, but I am confident that after a few more attempts I will be able to produce something that does stand out, with a few more drafts and like you said a little more creep :)

I picked this subject as the house in question did actually exist. As a child, we frequently visited the racecourse and obviously, being a child I strayed and got to know the surrounding area very well. The house and Orchard have since been demolished and new houses have been built on top of where they stood. So I do know a little backstory on the house already and I could always make some up to add more to the creep factor.

Again, thank you! I am probably going to have another go and add more over the weekend then re post the story to see if I made it any better. And I appreciate that you pointed out all the good things about the story too. Thank you.
