At bedtime, Jennie agreed to let Maurice, Martha, Louis, Jenny, and Betty stay up and play with their toys as long as they locked the door and turned out the lights. Later that night, Jennie wakes up to a phone ringing. She gets up and answers the phone. The woman who had called asked for someone Jennie didn't know, laughed, and then hung up. She then looked and saw the doors unlocked and the lights on. She locked the door and turned out the lights, assuming her children had gone to bed. She went back to sleep only to be woken up again by a sound of something hitting the roof and rolling off. She dozed back to sleep. Only thirty minutes later, she woke up to the smell of…
He said some nonsense about reading the books. I slumped to the floor, not wanting to believe this was happening to ME. He spoke more nonsense as I thought about the things we might lose. At that time, the door voice called to me. I was sure it was over, but the person at the front door went away.…
My teeth were chattering, my handing shaking, my whole body was aching. Madison screamed “He’s not going to make it, we didn’t get here in time!” I want to help her but I couldn’t, I couldn’t move, I was frozen in regret. Three more paramedics started to help Madison but I still couldn’t move, I just kept thinking to myself that I just wanted to help. I was in a daze of everything that had happened that night, everything just happened so quick.…
I could feel something down my throat. Beep, as the heart monitor started going off next to me, “You're awake!” yelled my mother, while holding back her tears once again. I turned to see my mother firmly grasping my hand and my dad in the corner of the room looking at me. ‘Where am I?”…
Once there was a house in Oklahoma that had been abandoned for too long by the Chester's, some people say it was haunted by their little girl named Susie who passed away on halloween night 13 years ago, nobody really knew what happened. There was a group of kids, Alex, Lilly, Jasmine, Roy, and Jonathan on Halloween night who were walking around the neighborhood. “I have a great idea, since ally lost the bet we should make her go into the Chester's house,” Alex said as he spun around, and all 5 of them stopped in their tracks and said, “Are you out of your mind, nobody goes in that house and nobody ever will.”…
You could hear all kinds of screams, the police rushing to the people, the men calling and asking not to bring their wives and children, and it was a great deal of confusion during more than one hour. You could hear the racing of the people on the stairs, the cries of children and suddenly there was a profound silence in our building. All the noise had ceased, there was a deep silence. Lia has fallen asleep in my arms, and I couldn't move in our hideout, and so the hours passed slowly. Every hour until my hiding place, I could hear the chimes of the wall clock that was in the living room of our apartment.…
The world around me seemed to slow down. The low mumble of everyone in the hallway seemed to be muffled, or was it just my imagination? A chill went up my spine and the hairs on the back of my neck prickled. An overwhelming instinct told me to stay within the crowd and get out of that room as soon as possible. Away from the man.…
It was two in the morning. I got out of bed, running on three hours of sleep. I ran downstairs after getting ready for a long bus ride. I saw my mom and grandpa waiting downstairs, as my grandpa was going on the trip with me. When at the school, teachers checked our bags, kind of like the airport. After this check, we were off (well, about an hour later). Now it was off on our new home for the next 12 hours. For the first three hours, everyone slept. It was boring and I will skip that. We then pulled over for our breakfast stop. When we stopped, the teachers passed out our boxes of bagels. We proceeded to get back on the road next, which was a rather long time. About four hours of driving through Ohio farms and Pennsylvania hills,…
I let my feet feel the carpeted stairs inch by inch. A found missing flyer was framed on the wall as I paced up and down the hallway my head was out of my mind or was it my mind was out of my head? Screaming. Screaming. Screaming. It never stopped! Where was it! I banged on the wall over, and over, and over, and over again. I ran to the closet door and opened it. There it was; the screaming. There she was; the girl. I couldn't see her, but I could feel the chill. A victim. I closed the door. My eyes crossed and rolled back. A shot of adrenaline shoots up me. The screams poor out of my mouth. I can't control it. I try to close my mouth, but I can't. I start walking down the stairs at a fast pace. Foaming at the mouth I try to get myself together but I can't. Why. Before I know it I'm picking up my gun and walking at an even faster pace out the door, but how. Something's pulling me, but nothing's there. I'm walking faster, and faster, and faster. Past the river, past the boat, into the water, to the shore, through more woods. Walking, and walking, and walking, and walking. I stop. My upper body seems to collapse, but my legs keep me stable. I look around as if I'm checking to make sure no ones there. I take the gun to my head I start to weep and call for help... But I'm already…
My brothers and I were holding each other tight, trying our best not to think of the events of just hours before. We focused on everything around us—the little warmth in our bodies, the sound of the train running over the hard tracks of the railroad, the rough floor of the train. We were quiet, making no noise. By some kind of miracle, my youngest brother, Adam, was sound asleep in my arms. The brother closest to my age, Levi, was just sitting there, staring straight ahead. We stayed like this, inaudible, until the train screeched to a halt.…
energy. My stomach began to turn and my knees became very feeble. We got out and in a flash my mind blanked and my Mom uttered, goodbye. I then tried to vocalize a small word to myself “let it begin.”…
I was really happy this one day. I was able to hang out with my best friend and it was the first time I got to see some of my old friends. The school day had gone by really well. COlor guard practice was really fun. When I was about go to sleep. I got a notification, my dad had saw my lock screen. The lock screen had been a picture of my best friend,…
I woke up to my alarm beeping. I was anxious to get headed up to Michigan Tech for the week. I woke up my mom and then she drove me to Masyn's house. Once we got there I loaded my stuff up into Masyn's car and then we were on our way.…
Waking up to an average morning walking outside in the crisp morning air to get breakfast for myself. After I ate I headed for school to finish those standardized tests at the end of 6th grade. So far my class did well and was eager to get them over with. While I was in my zone working on the test, I could hear the clock ticking away every precious second passing. I had to get done with my English test before recess. Finally I looked at the clock and the time read 1:53 pm, just with a few minutes to spare, I finally had finished my test. I was glad that one was over with, as I raced home to grab a quick snack before I had to return to school.…
I felt my heart racing all I could do was go back home. I was so scared, I checked my window to see if I could sneak back in but it was locked all I could do was knock and wait for a response. My father opened, and the yelling begin, but as soon as seeing my mother she noticed something I failed to notice a love bites. I was doomed, I gave myself away. The yelling continued, all I could do was run to my room but my parents followed with the quickest thing they could find they started hitting me, all I could do was cry.…
