essay about suddenly there was silence
Answers
Answer:
Suddenly there was a loud shriek and I just about jumped out of my skin!
Earlier that day my mom and sister went out shopping they said, “We will back around eight tonight, but your brother will be back at three o’clock he is just at work. Love you, bye.” So then I was fine, but now not so much! My mom said that David would be back around 3:30 because he had to walk home after work, but it is 5:45 and he still isn’t home and neither is Angela or mom. So right now I am home alone and terrified, am sitting in my closet with one of my dad’s work hammers, praying that nothing happened to David and that Angela and mom are okay, too.
“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!” What was that? The door to the house just opened. I waited. Nothing, complete silence, whenever my mom comes into the house she always yells up “Hello” or “Were home” but this time absolute silence. That is really weird, I think that someone is in my house! How could they have gotten in here? I know that mom must have locked the door when she left. My brother definitely would have said something if it was him, but still nothing. I am getting really scared, I have no idea what is going on! Someone is in the house, and if I were to be attacked no one would hear me screaming!
Someone is on the stairs, I can hear each cracking stair that they step on, I can hear each heavy breath that they take. Wait there is two people in here now, I hear there offbeat pitter-patter. And then there it was the loudest noise that I have ever heard in my life! It sounded like the noise was very close like someone was screaming right inside my ear, then suddenly it just stopped. Then the heavy breathes got much louder and the steps got much faster, there the loud screams were again. What the heck? I realize that while the loud shrieks are going on my mouth is hanging wide open, as if I were screaming. Oh no those loud shrieks were coming from me! Now the person can obviously hear me and follow the noise, right now I am praying so hard my brain is going to explode! My hands are red and they are burning from clenching the hammer so tightly, the room is spinning and my stomach is churning. “Please let it be Angela trying (no actually) scaring me,” my thoughts as I got ready to realize who my killer is. The handle is shaking on my shut door, then a tiny, little, baby foot peeks in, and this great aroma and warmness fills the air. The next thing I know I burst out laughing, I get out of the closet hug my grandmother and youngest cousin, Liam, and apologize for scaring my grandmother half to death! While my mom was talking about the day that Angela and her were planning to have I was off in Dreamland so I could only half hear her say, “Oh I’m sorry sweetie I almost forgot your brother is going to a friend’s house after work, and nana is bringing you dinner at about 6:00. Also she has your cousin Liam today so the two of them will be with you from about 6:00 to 8:30. Okay? I love you goodbye.”
So after I had explained to my grandmother what happened she laughed too and so we ate the food that she brought and played with Liam until mom, Angela, and David got home. My grandmother and I told them what happened and they laughed hysterically so we played with Liam, talked and ate all night. My grandmother and cousin Liam stayed overnight and we all told stories.
