Haunted House

It was a beautiful day outside. Boys playing soccer on the streets, girls playing hopscotch on the sidewalk, men mowing the lawns and women sitting in a group and gossiping. And of course everyone would be doing this because it was the last day of summer. Everyone was outside of their homes but except for the house right in front of us. What was going on? I heard a lot of scary things about that house. Could all of the things I heard be true? That house is something really different. The roof of the house is broken, the paint is falling off and the door is always creaking. One day my friend Emely and I were playing basketball. Emely got a little over excited and threw the ball a little to hard and the ball landed on the front yard of the house. I yelled at her,” Why did you throw the ball to hard, you know I don’t like that house because I think its haunted.” Emely looked at me in a really weird way right when I said haunted. She said,” What do you mean by haunted and you know that I didn’t mean to throw the ball in that house. Well going back to the subject what do you mean by haunted?” I then decided to tell her,” Last night I heard a lot of thumping, screaming, and a lot of scary ghost noises coming from that house and right wen I was opening the window that house was dead silent and to tell you the truth I think that house is haunted.” My friend started to think I was crazy, she said,” Nonsense, that house is as normal as any other house on this block.” I ignored what she said and told her to come with me to get the basketball. My friend and I ran to the house and I was a little too scared to go get the ball so I told Emely to go get the ball. As Emely was slowly walking to get the ball this man I have never seen before comes running out with a cane yelling at us to get off of his lawn. Emely got really scared and ran off the lawn forgetting to pick up the ball. Both of us run and hide behind a garbage can. Emely tells me to peak and see if the old man is gone. I take a peak and see the old man waddling to the ball, picks it up and takes it inside looking back once to see if we were gone. I look back at Emely and tell here we should wait a few more minutes behind this garbage can because the old man is still there. Within those few minutes we hear the siren of the ambulance. Emely and I slowly creep out of the garbage can and watch the ambulance to see where it was going. I see that the ambulance was coming near us and it actually ends up to park in front of the house where the old man lives. We see the old man come out on a stretcher and he was put in the ambulance and was being taken to the hospital. That was another question to circle my mind. Emely thought it was the perfect time to ho run into the house and quickly grab the basketball. But her plan did not work out the way she thought. Right when the both of us stepped on the pathway leading into the house this long red carpet came rolling out of the doorway like a long tongue. At that moment Emely and I look at each other. “ I told you Emely this house is haunted,” I said. “ I feel like it has a mind of its own.” I said. Emely and I slowly walk onto the red carpet. As we slowly walk into the house we look at the ceiling and see a net that is full of oranges it looked like an esophagus. As we walk past the net full of oranges we see a long glowing tube. I looked at Emely and told her that this house is looking like a real human from the inside. She looked at me and started nodding thinking the same thing. We start hearing a ball bouncing and we though it was our ball and the noise was coming from down the tube. I signal Emely telling her to go down the tube. She goes down the tube and I follow. As we reach the bottom we try to follow the noise of the bouncing ball. We enter a really dark room and see something bouncing .Emely goes after it and catches it and realizes it is our ball. As we walk out of the dark room we try to look for a way to escape, but we could not find any. So we sit down and try to figure our a plan and within a few minutes we feel the ground shaking. What could that be? As we get up the house moves way to much and we start rolling and we get locked in a room. As the house starts to settle down a little I go up to the door and try to unlock it. And the rest is history.
