Pendulum

Heather was forced to go live with her Uncle. Uncle Reece her mothers brother felt obligated to take her in. But Aunt Pansy and her cousins resented that she was upsetting their lives. Heather hoped that her mother would soon save her. Coming home from school one day a strange old man caught her eye and carefully laid a package on the lawn for her. When she opened it she found an old fortune tellers pendulum. Experiments soon progressed and Heather seemed to have a unique ability to make the pendulum move when she held a persons hands and focused on their future. Some of the predictions were frightening! The pendulum might point at-DEATH or UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS. Nicole encouraged Heather to host a fortune-teller booth at the upcoming Halloween carnival at school. Miss Upton Heathers sixth-grade teacher was immediately supportive of the idea. In fact Miss Upton seemed to be trying to get closer to Heather. Heather certainly did not want to be a teachers pet! Everything seemed to come together the day of the carnival. The pendulums predictions seemed to be coming true! At the same time she was hearing weird noises in her Uncles house. While Heather began to learn more about the history of the house she also began to remember more about the day that she had followed some older kids out to the sand pits-the day that Antol had drowned. Might all of these things be somehow connected?
