Nick entered the deserted house. He was scared. Suddenly, a torch blinded him. He was even more scared when he saw a ghost. Finally, he realized, it wasn’t a ghost. It was Luther, a homeless man. After they got to know each other and he got over his fear, he told Luther why he’d run form home and asked him to stay with him. Luther refused, and as they were talking, they heard some voices. They were policemen who were looking for him because he’d run away from home. GIORGOS MIGDANIS
