One stormy night Jacob was left alone in his creaking house. He was watching a horror movie. His heart was thumping so fast that it nearly exploded. Then the lights went out he was going to watch the rest of the movie on his phone but when he saw what time it was he knew it was time for bed. (6 minutes later) he woke up and looked at the time 16:07. Then something jump on him covered his mouth. He kicked he scrambled but he could not get free the mysteries creatures grip! Then the monster took something out of its pocket it didn’t take Jacob long to recognise what it was and obviously it was a knife and then the monster came into view. I was HORRIFIED of what I saw. IT WAS A CLOWN! The clown said “nighty night” and the clown stabbed the knife into my heart… I woke up I was sweating so much that I thought I wet my bed I looked at my clock and I saw it was 16:06 and then I heard the closet door creak open
