      My name is Sam Wu and I am NOT afraid of ghosts.

      I know this for a fact because I recently had to become a genuine, certified1 ghost-hunter. Some people might try to tell you otherwise. But those people are LIARS. Do NOT listen to them. Especially do not listen to them if their name is Ralph Philip Zinkerman the Third. Ralph will tell you that I am . . . Scaredy-Cat Sam.

      For the record, I am NOT a scaredy-cat. If I were a cat, I’d be like my little sister Lucy’s cat, Butterbutt. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE NAME.

      Even my Na-Na (that’s my grandma – she lives with us) is scared of Butterbutt and she is so brave that one time she wrestled an ALLIGATOR!

image

      When I tried to explain to Ralph that:

      A. I am NOT a scaredy-cat and

      B. Scaredy-Cat doesn’t make sense as an insult

      he just laughed at me and said I was probably scared of cats too. Which obviously ISN’T TRUE.

      He’s never met Butterbutt. I bet he’d be scared of Butterbutt.

      You are probably wondering why Ralph calls me Scaredy-Cat Sam.

      Now listen closely, because I’m only going to tell this story ONCE. Okay? I don’t even let my best friends Zoe and Bernard talk about it. And we talk about everything. But even they know NOT to ever mention it. It isn’t a laughing matter, no matter what some people might tell you.

      It should have been the best day of the year. It was the day of the class field trip to the Space Museum. It was all I had thought about for months. You see, the Space Museum had a REAL spaceship in it. The only spaceship I’d ever seen was on my favourite TV show

      I was so excited, I even wore my special spaceman gear, which was carefully crafted by SPACE BLASTERS’ number one fan (i.e. me).

      Unfortunately, space gear is expensive. So I had to be resourceful and make my own even better space equipment. All it took was a bike helmet, some cling film and a few flashlights (it’s dark in space). I even made a custom SPACE BLASTERS shirt with some felt tip markers.

      I thought it was going to be a perfect day.

      image I was wrong. image

      It all started when I got on the bus to go to the museum. I sat down next to Zoe and Bernard, proudly wearing my SPACE BLASTERS T-shirt and specially crafted space helmet.
