The Librarian's Stamp


I've just popped a ghost story over to The Scottish Book Trust's 50 Word Fiction competition

The Librarian's Stamp

Six new children, sitting glumly in detention. The only sound was the librarian's stamp behind.
"I'm surprised we're in the library,” said Connor.
"How come?" whispered another.
“The previous librarian drowned saving a boy in the pond, been shut since.”
The five children smelled weeds. The stamp continued its thump.
