A FRIGHTENING NIGHT
By Paula Vasconcellos
It was a dark and stormy night, everything was quiet and soundless when Susan arrived home. As soon as she went into the house, she heard somebody screaming in agony. As a result, she became very afraid, and decided to run into her bedroom, forgetting to lock the door to the house.
Because of her fear, she turned on the T.V. to while away the time by watching a film. However, the film that she had chosen was a suspense film, where a girl was alone at home, just like her. Therefore she became frightened of the situation, so she stopped watching the film, and decided to prepare something to eat.
Suddenly the telephone rang, and while she was going to answer it, she saw that the door was open. She answered the phone, and there wasn't anybody on the line, so she started to cry out for help desperately, she didn't know what she should do. She also heard a noise coming from the kitchen and decided to go there and see what was happening. It was just a cat which had jumped into the kitchen and broken some dishes. Naturally, she relaxed.
Finally, her family arrived home and found Susan frightened and crying a lot. She couldn't say what had happened that night, and for this reason they thought it had just been a nightmare.
