Thank you!

"I'm scared", Eddie said.
I shivered and zipped my coat up to the chin.
"Eddie, this was your idea", I told my brother.
"I didn't beg and plead to see the Terror Tower. You did. "
He raised his brown eyes to the Tower. A strong gust of wind fluttered his dark brown hair.
"I have a strange feeling about it, Sue. A bad feeling." [...]
"This was London's first debtor's prison." Mr Starkes explained as held the way.
"If you were too poor to pay your bills, you were sent to prison. Which meant that you could never pay your bills! So you stayed in prison forever." ...[...]
At the entrance, I raised my eyes to the top of the dark tower.It was solid stone. No windows except for a tiny square at the very top.
People were actually imprisoned there, I thought. Real people. Hundreds of years ago. I suddenly wondered if the castle was haunted.
I tried to read the serious expression on my brother's face. I wondered if Eddie was having the same chilling thoughts.
We stepped up to the dark entrance way. "Turn around, Eddie," I said.
I took a step back and pulled my camera from my coat pocket.
"Let's go in," Eddie pleaded. "The others are getting ahead of us."
"I just wanted to take your picture at the castle entrance,"I said.
I raised the camera to my eye. Eddie made a dumb face. I pressed the shutter release ans snapped the picture.
I had no way of knowing that it was the last picture I would ever take of Eddie.
