As soon as I arrived.. I sensed something was out of place, as I walked through the halls of my 3-story mansion. Something wasn't right, it felt like I was being watched from the dark corridors of the 4-foot wide hallways... I look around to make sure nothing has been missing, but things have been moved. My home phone isn't on the charger like it was when I left, has someone been in my house? They couldn't have been! I locked all doors before I left!
My heart rate rises as I hear low foot steps upstairs, I think. That is just the dog, but then I realize... I don't have a dog...
No no no! Am I going insane? Am I just hearing things? This has to be my imagination!
The foot steps grow near, and more slow. I tip toe down the hallway as my fear is striking me and close my bedroom door quietly and lock it. Now I listen... Trying to figure out what's happening... Is some serial killer after me?
I sit behind the locked door trying to listen trying to figure out if my senses are playing jokes on me.
"This can't be happening" I thought... My mind starts to go frantic, I start trembling from fear.
This started out as a good day, and isn't going to end very well.
I realize my breathing is heavy when I start to hear the soft, slow foot steps down the hallway.
"Hush!" I whispered lightly to myself, trying to calm my breathing so I don't get noticed in hiding.
The foot steps stop at my bedroom door... The trembling gets worse, I start to slowly crawl away from the door so the door doesn't shake.
The shadow slowly passes the door, I look around the room to make sure there are no other doors.
"The bathroom door!" Went through my head, I lightly tip toe to the bathroom door connecting to the hallway, and lock it.
Relief goes through my mind, I'm safe. For now...
I hear someone calling out my name, I grab a golf club just in case.
The voice grows closer, and louder. But I hear the front door close, its made of glass so easier to hear.
Who could it be? I thought... I slowly unlock the bedroom door, and quietly open it.
I look around, and outside, is my husband.
Was he the one walking through this house? Calling my name?
WOW. The moment someone realizes it's not something scary...
ReplyDeleteThat could relate to someone in my family, but I don't know. I liked how descriptive it was.
I really think there will be something to improve. but I can't think of anything right now. Really good work.
