“A Normal Scary Day”

by Juan, 8th grade

I was seated in my house when suddenly listen to a very strange noise from the kitchen. Slowly I was direct towards that pace, for my surprise there was nothing. but! I turn around suddenly towards the wall when I saw the thing strangest of my life. A shade of a person aiming towards me said to me: “you are damn.” I started to run in trips of there, suddenly the radio of living room, that was not connected to the electricity, turned on!

I ran directly to the front door but it was locked!!! I jumped back to my room but the shadow stopped me. He said again “you are going to die.” I trespassed that freaky thing but when I was near to my room, all the doors started ti get open and closed and making a noise.

I felt a scary freeze on my back. A hand passed through all my back and then in my neck, it was the shadow that took my spine and got me up. In that moment I saw all my life passing through my eyes. I remembered I had a flashlight in my pocket. I took it out and turned it on.

In a moment all my nightmares disappeared. I was seated in my room reading Stories for the Midnight Hour, but scarcely I felt the freeze again and my nightmares started over. “Never ever read scary stories with the lights off.”
