Makeover

Although I was scared I decided to try and find the

source of this unnatural occurrence within my
room. Things took a turn for the worst. Everything

began to shake as if there was an earthquake.

A pair of my shoes were turned upside down.

Things on my dresser fell to the floor.

"What is happening?” I whispered, my voice
shaking. I tried to scream for my parents but there

was no sound. I was paralyzed with fear. Slowly,

when I was able to move I threw myself on my bed

and hid my face in my pillow. I stayed like that, too

afraid to move, until I eventually fell asleep.

It was 6:18 p.m. when the event occurred. I woke

up at 4 a.m. the following morning. When I got out

of bed, I opened the door quietly while staring at

the closet, then I rushed through the hallway

upstairs, afraid to make any noise for fear I would
wake up whatever was lurking in my room.

I ran downstairs to the kitchen. I was famished

because I did not have dinner the night before.
