The Thing in My Wardrobe
When I woke up, I saw my wardrobe opening slowly and a doll was sitting on my clothes. I decided to ignore it and brush my teeth, but I saw through the mirror in the corner of my eyes that a shadowy figure was staring at me in my room but I decided to ignore it for the best.
I then went to make a sandwich since my helper was on vacation. I sat down wondering but the figure and decided to put my mind off it and watch some TV. When I turned the TV on the screen was black and so I tried to find some new batteries, but after I opened a cabinet there were words written in red saying “I’m here”, I was really scared so I went back into my room to take a nap, but the doll in my wardrobe was gone. So, I locked my door, closed my wardrobe and took a nap.
I woke up in the afternoon so I went to make lunch when I saw a bowl of grey slop in the living room. I wanted to wake my mom up but a mysterious voice said “eat”. I took one bite and immediately saw a shadow-like figure curled around my body through the TV. I ran and pounded on mom’s door but no one responded. I decided to go out of the house. But the second I opened the front door I woke up.
I was sweating but I was relieved that it was only a nightmare as I was about to eat breakfast. I saw an eye peeping at me through the wardrobe and the doors suddenly opened slowly.
Teacher comment:
That was scary! I could feel the creepiness as I read your story. A clever ending too, Hugh!
