That dark, cold October night. I heard something it sounded like a bang. Not like something falling but like a door. I went to investigate. I creeped down the stairs. It wasn't very easy because they made these creaking sounds. I tried though. I knew exactly what door it was too. The door to the basement. I get kind of paranoid so I keep pepper spray in my bedroom. I opened the door to the basement and immediately slammed it shut, locked the doors, and let my dog out of my room. I put his leash on him and we ran and ran until my legs gave out.
