I was home alone at 7 O'Clock on a dark stormy night. Mum and dad were getting ready for a party. It was very quiet when they left and suddenly there was a big loud knock on the front door.
I slowly walked to the door, I did not know what to do. I was so scared but I opened the door anyway, there was no one there.

Mum and dad were at a party five hours away which meant I had to stay over night all by myself. I looked outside and it was pitch black. I was so nervous because I was home alone. That same night I watched “ It” by myself, which is a horror movie. I jumped when it scared me, and it is a very scary movie! This movie will give me nightmares.

As I was walking to my bedroom I saw a flashlight shining through my window. I was terrified that I Didn't how it was that knocked something might happen to me. I checked again and light was gone. So I got into bed, but I couldn’t sleep. I uvece i got to sleep mum and dad got home and I told them what happen and they were wired
It was the writing of my life it was not good.
