Listen to what he has to say
From Create Your Own Story
"I'm not dead, silly girl," the face hisses. "I'm Chang."
"Ch-ch-chang?" you stammer. You hold Charmaine close. You hope she couldn't tell you are shaking all over.
The face is hideous, lop-sided, and its neck disappears into a hunched body clad in black.
"I'm the caretaker," the voice croaks. "I'm in charge of this house."
"You mean, you - live here?" you blurt.
The face tilts back and the mouth drops open. The black shape shakes with a mad, high-pitched laugh.
"I have lived here for fifty years," the creature says.
"Please," Charmaine says in a tiny voice, "we want to go home."
"But you are home," the ancient face says. "You're going to stay here with me!"
You take a step back. Your head is reeling. Who does this crazy old man thinks he is?
