Midnight Story

It was after midnight, and I was alone in the house, when suddenly...

I heard strange sounds like laughing, so I went to the place where the sounds happened.  It was too quiet to go alone, so I brought a light.  I heard a strong window's sound and on the way I met a girl.  I wondered why she was there alone.  She kept quiet and then, she disappeared!  She went upstairs where I had never seen before.  I had just moved into the house yesterday, so I didn't really know about the place very much.  I thought she was going to the bathroom and I wanted to talk with her because I didn't have any friends in this town, yet.  If she is kind, I thought we could be friends, so I waited for her.  However, she never came back down the stairs.  The next day, I told my family about the mystery, but they didn't believe me.  My sister said, "Maybe you were half asleep."  But I was really awake.  The next day I heard a rumor about the house.  Before, a rich person owned it, but his company went bankrupt, so he sold the house and moved.  Only the daughter didn't want to move.  She stayed in that big, old house until finally, it fell into ruin.  Nobody knows what happened to her.  This is a very old story, so if the girl I saw was the daughter, she must not be human any longer.  I tried to meet her again, but I still haven't seen her.  In my opinion she must be married to the house, and appears on her anniversary once a year.


I couldn't sleep, so I went downstairs to get some coffee.  Only I was in the house, so it was very silent.  I was drinking coffee when someone rang the doorbell.  It was after midnight, so I wondered who would come and visit.  I went to the entry, but no one was there.  Only a box was on the floor.  I checked the box carefully and slowly opened it.  In the box was a sad looking and old doll with a letter inside.  The letter said,  "Hello.  I want to meet you.  Maybe you are drinking coffee now.  I know everything about you.  Do you know who I am?  I am not a person, but I have watched and loved you for many years."  The letter ended here.  I couldn't remember this old doll at all.  I have no memory to play with this doll because my family was poor, so they never bought me any toys.  Moreover, I have no siblings, so I was confused.  I went into my house again, but there was no light.  I felt very scared and went into the livingroom.  Suddenly, I heard a big 'crack'!  The room became very bright and I heard, "Happy Birthday!"  There were my parents and they were smiling.  "Are you surprised?  Go back to the entrance and check again."  I went back and there was another box with another doll.  This one was cute and new.  It was a birthday present from my parents.


I remembered that I didn't finish my homework.  I had to hand it in the next day, but I had misunderstood the deadline.  I was upset.  What should I do?  I was still in bed.  It is winter now, so I didn't want to get out of my bed.  It was too comfortable.  However, I want to keep being a good student, so I decided to do my homework.  I had to take my notebook from my bg but it's very troublesome, so I decided to use the ruler which was on the table near my bed to grab the notebook.  However, my arms are too short to get it even if I used the ruler, so I tried to change something longer.  Then I heard a voice, but it was too weak a voice, so it was difficult to hear it.  What I could catch was just, "No...Help....Kill..."  I was so upset, and I couldn't stay in my bed.  I jumped up and ran to my parents' room.  They were not there, so I ran to my brother's room.  But he wasn't there, either!  I became really scared.  I went to the living room to find my family.  Suddenly, all the electrical appiances went off, so it was really dark.  I really paniced!  Then the livingroom door opened and I heard, "Happy Halloween!"  All of my family said to me, and they brought a nice cake.  The had planned it that they would surprise me.  I was very scared, but now it is a good memory.

I became hungry, so I went to the kitchen to get some snacks.  When I got a piece of cake, the TV turned on, and the screen on the TV was just snow.  I was surprised and I screamed.  I wanted to turn off the the TV and I looked for the remote, then suddenly the lights started flickering.  I couldn't move because I was so scared.  Then the refridgereator door opened and closed , the knife and forks made sounds, also some books.
