Excerpt from "The Tale of the Haunted Axe"

It was just after midnight when he heard it. The wind had started up, rustling the trees outside and banging the boat against the dock. Then CHOP, CHOP - there it was! That was the noise that woke him. It paused and then CHOP, CHOP again. His dad was snoring. Jimmy thought that his dad would sleep through anything, even if the roof fell down. Jimmy jumped out of bed and looked out the window. He blinked and listened, bewildered as to why he would hear someone chopping with an axe in the middle of the night. The wind gusted and suddenly CRACK, SWOOSH, and KABANG. A tree fell down and smashed his dad's car right before his eyes. "DAD!" yelled Jimmy as two hands grabbed his shoulders.
