Jonny and the Zombie

Recently, I visited Blackfriars Priory School in Adelaide and gave the students a challenge.
You are alone in the house and you hear scary, heavy breathing and have to find a way out of danger without using a weapon.
Jonny found one way to do this. Here's what he wrote:

My mum and Dad were out. I was home alone for an hour or two. I just had my tea and the TV wouldn't work. I think a stobiepole (telegraph pole) must have broken.
It was 9.00 pm and Mum said for me to be in bed at 9.00. I said to myself, I might just stay up for 15 minutes.
I went to computer, but it didn’t work either.
I got a drink of water and heard heavy breathing.
Oh!! I got really scared.
The breathing came closer.
I faced my fear and turned the light on and saw a zombie with a knife in it's head.
I ran fast to get a torch and shone it at the zombie because I remembered zombies die in the light.
It burnt to a crisp and exploded.
I won.
The zombie was dead.
Just then mum came and dad came home. What a relief.
I said, 'I love you so much, next time I'm coming with you.'
