It had been a long and grueling day. What with the long boring sessions and the extra classes, I just wanted to hit the sack. But then my distant cousins came. Though I liked them, I did not have the energy to entertain them. I excused myself and took a quick shower. I decided to take a light dinner. I went to bed and tried to sleep. Though I was very tired I couldn’t sleep and started reading a book. I don’t know when I dozed off. Suddenly I was woken up by a ghostly shriek.
I tried to be brave but couldn’t ignore the fact that the sound had come from beneath my bed. I was still trying to decipher what I would do when I came face to face with the apparition–A shadow advancing towards me. I just did not know where to go. I wanted to run, to fight, to cry, to shout… all at once. But I couldn’t do anything. This helplessness made me feel choked and I lost consciousness. When I came to my senses I was there on my bed, puzzled but safe.
It seems I did shout and got the whole family there. Thankfully I did not have to explain. Everyone was glaring at my cousins. It seems they had decided to have some fun at my expense by putting one of their toy monsters under my bed. What if was fake! Laughing I forgave my cousins and vowed to be braver in the future.
