Did I dream the whole thing? thought Chloe as she lay in bed. She was in that place between asleep and awake. That place where you can still remember dreaming. It was 4:48 a.m., and now she was beginning to wonder if Mr. Stink even really existed.

At dawn her curiosity got the better of her. Chloe edged down the stairs, and tiptoed across the cold wet grass to the shed door. She lingered outside for a moment, before opening it.

“Ah, there you are!” said Mr. Stink. “I am very hungry this morning. Poached eggs please, if it’s not too much trouble. Runny in the middle. Sausages. Mushrooms. Grilled tomatoes. Sausages. Baked beans. Sausages. Bread and butter. Brown sauce on the side. Don’t forget the sausages. English breakfast tea. And a glass of orange juice. Thank you so much.”

Chloe obviously hadn’t dreamed the whole thing, but she was beginning to wish she had. It was all thrillingly, terrifyingly real.

“Freshly squeezed orange juice to your liking, sir?” she asked sarcastically.

“Actually, have you got any that’s very slightly off? I prefer that. Perhaps that was squeezed a month or so ago?”

Just then, Chloe spotted an old dog-eared black-and-white photograph that Mr. Stink had placed on a shelf. It showed a beautiful young couple standing proudly next to an immaculate and perfectly rounded Rolls-Royce, parked in the driveway of a magnificent stately home.

“Who’s that?” she asked, pointing to the photo.
