I was trying to understand what he meant, when there was another blue flash and I closed my eyes. I was trying to think of something else to say when he turned around and said, “Watch the stars at night, and be careful of the full moon”.
“Don’t fall asleep by the river when there’s a full moon”, he said “The Moon Goblins will get you.” I’d never heard of moon goblins before. There was a bright flash and the monster hissed and disappeared.
He shouted “Get Back!” and pointed something at the monster in the water. He was wearing strange clothes and he had a crazy look in his eyes. Someone jumped onto the stairs next to me. The cold green hand was moving closer and closer when suddenly there was a blue flash and a strange noise from behind me. I’d never been so scared in my whole life. It was a long green arm and it was stretching out from the water to grab my leg. Something was coming out of the water and moving towards me.
Something terrible and frightening, and unlike anything I’d ever seen before. I looked down at the water and saw something. I rubbed my eyes and started to get up, when suddenly I heard a splash. The wind was blowing and an owl hooted in a tree above me. When I woke up, the moon had moved behind a cloud and it was very dark and cold. I felt very tired so I closed my eyes and after a few minutes, I fell asleep. I sat on some steps very close to the water’s edge and looked up at the big yellow moon and wondered if it really was made of cheese. I was tired and lonely and I’d just had a few pints of beer in my local pub, so I decided to stop by the riverside and look at the moon for a while. There was a large full moon in the sky and everything was quiet. It was late at night and I’d had a long and difficult day at work. Last night I was walking home next to the river Thames, when something strange happened to me.
