Just to remind you of
I turned, ran back into the house and slammed the front door. Could this be real?
I heard a thump as something hit the door. Then another. Then another.
With shaking hands I grabbed a chair and wedged it under the door handle.
What did I know about Gremlins? Only that I'd watched the film last night.
I stared around trying to clear my mind. Was there a connection? Was I even thinking clearly?
A series of loud thumps hit the door in rapid succession and I ran into the lounge. There, on top of the television was the pile of DVD's I'd watched last night on my new DVD player. The Gremlins box was on the top.
I picked up the DVD box and opened it. The box was empty. It was still in the player.
Was I really taking this seriously? I heard the sound of smashing glass in the hall and crouched down to the new player I'd bought yesterday from a grinning salesman with a long white beard.
REALITY PLAYER™
I checked the LCD display. The film was still playing.
There was another loud crash, this time from behind me, followed by a long jabbering laugh. In a panic I jabbed the first button I saw. Something inside the machine whirred and the laughter stopped. On the display a new icon started to flash:
CHANGING DVD – PLEASE WAIT...

I had only been home from school about twenty minutes and I was sat in my lounge watching television, when I heard someone calling me. I put down my soda and went into the kitchen to see who it was. I couldn't see anyone but then I heard him again, 'Hayley, Hayley come here my darling can you?'. The voice was coming from outside, in the back garden. I went out to investigate. 'Hayley, step over here', he said. The voice was coming from the shed. 'Hello, who's that?' I said in a tense curiosity . 'Do you know where M is?', he asked. I thought who or what is M? 'Can you come here please, just come in, it's okay, don't worry I'm not going to harm you', he said warmly. I walked close to the shed but I couldn't see inside who it was because the light was too bright. 'Just come in, and let's talk, I need to know where M is, can you help me darling?' 'Sure, but who are you?' I asked again. There was no reply. I walked into the shed.
