Work through Powerpoint.

Your turn - What is Luca thinking and feeling?

Luca wasn’t at all sure that they should be leaving the park swings, where they had been allowed to hang out without their parents since both recently celebrating their eleventh birthdays in the same week. He was even less sure that he wanted to be venturing towards ‘The Top End’, as everyone called that part of the park grounds. He spun round to look behind him. The monkey bars were now way out of sight and the watery evening sun above was being muscled out of position by ever-darkening shades of grey, layering over each other in the sky like a collage.

“Maybe it’s getting too late for today. We could go another day,” Luca suggested hopefully. He looked down towards his watch. Scowling at the time – 10:31 – he shook his wrist vigorously. Clearly, the watch wasn’t working, as it was only just beginning to go dark. He was going to need a new excuse. “Why don’t we come back tomorrow, when it’s lighter? I think it’s going to rain, from the look of those clouds, and Dad’s making bolognese for tea. We don’t want to miss that!”

Your turn- What is Alice thinking and feeling?

Alice watched numbly. Her heart was in her mouth and her breath came in sharp, rattling gasps.

Descending the stairs one careful, agonising, creaking step at a time, a hunched silhouette shuffled out from the darkness. A small, extremely old man was moving slowly but purposefully towards Alice. His head was bowed, showing a white, bald circle surrounded by wisps of light grey hair.

“Help!” Alice tried to scream again, but nothing could be heard except for a strangled silence. With no voice but the one inside her own head, she begged the stranger to notice her and set her free...
