Wow, you really deserved that A+ for this! The idea is simple but the story itself is really clever and I love the build-up of suspense and characters, especially the imagery you used, like here:

"Surely the shadows cast by the gas lamps that lit the street had never been this dark before, as they hovered menacingly, like some monstrous birds of prey wanting to reach out and suffocate her, pull her into them and never let her go."

Very dark and creepy, I love it! Look forward to more from you.

Hannah out.

Absolutely chilling. This was extremely well-written. From the cockney accents of Lucy and Emma to the detailed descriptions of the Whitechapel district and the lowest-of-the low residents, I felt transported there myself.Well done. You deserved that A+.
