"What's Going On?" / Samantha

It was a dark and stormy night and I was home alone. I could hear noises coming from downstairs. I thought it was the wind until it started to call my name.

Samantha! Samantha!

It was hard to tell where it was coming from since it was so faint. I couldn’t hear the noise anymore so I went back to watching TV.

A few minutes later I heard screaming coming from downstairs. I started to hear the screaming get closer and closer. I got scared so I grabbed my blanket and quickly covered my head. I started to become comfortable until I felt something touch my head.

I was freaked out until I thought to myself, “What if my parents had gotten home early and they were trying to see what I was doing?” I took the blanket off my head but I didn’t see anyone in sight. I grabbed my blanket and ran upstairs into my room. When I got into my room I locked my door, jumped into my bed and covered my whole body with my blanket.

I had just started to fall asleep when all of a sudden someone came into my room locked my door, jumped on top of me and covered us both up with the blanket. I pushed the person off of me and ran downstairs into my basement. It was very dark and I couldn’t see anything. When I started to walk I stepped on something this thing I stepped on turned don the TV.

Apparently someone had put the tape of my 6th birthday in and was watching it.

It started where my mom was calling my name to come inside.

She said, “Samantha! Samantha!” Before it could say anything else I turned the TV off and it became dark again. I started to walk towards the stairs when I stepped on something furry. I didn’t know what it was so I started to scream and run up the stairs. When I got into the living room I saw someone sitting on the couch with my blanket over their head.

I went over to the couch and right when I went to grab my blanket this person took the blanket off their head. You wouldn’t guess who I saw. ME! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. But before I could say anything my world began to shake and I could hear my name being called.

But before I could say anything my eye lids opened and I could see my dad standing over me. He said, “Did you pee the bed?”

I stood up and said, “No, I was just sweating a lot.” So I waited until my dad left the room and when he left, I got up, changed the sheet, and went back to bed.
