What do you now know about the creature in the garage? Draw an outline of what you think the character in the garage looks like. Then write some of your ideas to describe the creature in the garage. Use information in the text to help you with your ideas.

Some ideas for you:

…dead bluebottles scattered on his hair and shoulders

...his voice squeaked like he hadn’t used it in a hundred years

He laughed, but he didn’t smile.

Things that he says could be written around the outline, for example

Got an aspirin?

What do you want?

Nothing, nothing and nothing
