A Lonely Night

A lonely night, but yet not so alone. She was home alone, a little happy to be actually, but yet a little afraid. The storm outside made everything scarier than it already was. She had chosen to be in the living room, which was in the back of the house. All that she could imagine that she would need was in the living room on the coffee table, fruit, a knife to cut the fruit, and something to drink. She started the film. She felt safe and thought no longer horror outside, but something ruined her lovely sense of safety. She suddenly noticed heavy footsteps outside the window and thought she saw a shadow behind the curtains.She walked toward the window to look out, there was nothing to see. She started to worry a bit. Suddenly, a lightning struck the tree outside in the garden and a black shadow came into view, it was definitely not a ghost, but a real human. She glanced one more time, but there was only the damaged tree to see. She went back to see the movie, while she tried to calm herself.The phone rang; she hesitated, but answered it. There was nothing to hear, but when she was about to hang up the phone, a sense of creepy laughter, was in the other end, but she wasn’t sure if it was her imagination.Then a hoarse voice said “You cannot run, even though you try” and then hung up. She could hear nothing, but her own pounding heart.She couldn’t take it anymore and grabbed her phone to call her parents.It rang and rang. She couldn’t understand why they didn’t answer it, she could hear it ringing.Why could she hear it ringing?She could hear someone walking around in front of the window. Then she shouted out loud "Who are you and what do you want?"Suddenly a thunder and lightning appeared. The curtain in front of the window had moved and now she could see the same black figure, as earlier in the evening. It had pulled up closer, to the window. She screamed, tried to run, but she was paralyzed.The phone rang again. She didn’t want to answer it.She was terrified, so darn terrified!The Figure was moving away from the window, but she was still paralyzed and couldn’t move.Suddenly the doorbell rang, and after several knocks which became increasingly aggressive, she had her eyes at the door, when she heard a sound coming from behind.She turned and then let out a loud scream. A man with a creepy scar down his face, stood right in front of her and laughed louder and louder. She got up and tried to run to the basement, but no matter where she ran, he was right in front of her. "You won’t ever get away" came from his creepy evil smile.“Do you think this is funny, what do you want from me?” She was terrified. Everything suddenly went black.
