The Basement

It was a dark night. My parents were out at dinner and they decided to leave me home. Alone. With my dog. The night started off awesome, I started to watch my favorite movie with my dog. As well, my parents ordered pizza and it was on the way. I decided it was best to have an ice cream sundae to hold me over until the pizza. Then it arrived.

I was just at one of the funniest parts in “Step Brother” when I heard the doorbell ring. I jumped a little, but got up quickly and grabbed the twenty dollar bill. The guy seemed pretty cool, so I let him keep the change. I got three cheese pizzas. I was set for the night and was really excited. Once the movie ended, I thought it was best to switch it up and watch a horror movie. Before I started the movie, I decided it was best to take my dog potty real quick. When I went outside however, I noticed that there were car lights on, and I noticed it was the pizza guys car. I walked over to talk to him, when I see his head resting on the steering wheel, and an axe an arrow in his back, there was blood everywhere.

Once I was back inside with my dog, I did not know where to go. I sprinted down to the basement and locked myself in. Then, all the lights in the house turned off. I sprinted to a back room in the basement and closed the door, there was no lock. There were storage tubs everywhere and I decided to hide behind some of them with my dog and covered us with a blanket.

I heard the door broken open from the top of the stairs and heard the words “I am coming for you” I could feel my face became bright red out of fear. My dog also began to growl, and I covered her snout. There was nothing I could do, I felt trapped as I heard him going in and out of all the rooms. Then I heard my door open and heard him say “Is that you over there with the blanket?”

All of a sudden I woke from the door bell ring. I was very sweaty and I saw my dog. It was a dream, thank God.
