Here is Callum's writing:
One dark, eerie night, a group of wild
horses stood motionless in the glowing moonlight. At first everything seemed
calm and beautifully peaceful, but something was not quite right. Suddenly,
something dark emerged from the gloomy forest yet it was just a farmer looking
for some new horses. As quick as lightning, the horses turned and swiftly fled,
galloping at top speed, their manes wildly flapping as they ran and their
hooves thudding on the dead grass beneath them. Eventually, they slowed their
pace and came to a stop beyond the forest having finally outrun the dark figure
from the forest. Everything was calm and peaceful, or was it?
