The Shadow

The Shadow
I was alone at home with my dog puppy. My parents were out for a family function. I don’t like
family gathering so, I preferred staying at home. I am not someone who was scared to stay home
alone. My mom gave me plenty of work to finish and I even had my homework. After finishing my
work I decided to watch a scary movie. The movie goes on like this.

Mary was home alone. She was hiding behind the sofa holding a pan as she had seen a shadow. The
shadow was as dark as a moon less night it didn't look like a human being's shadow. Mary was
shivering with fear, holding her dog in one hand and pan in other hand. Slowly the door opened
with a creepy creaking sound and she could see the full shadow of that person beside her sofa. The
footsteps grew louder as the shadow was getting closer towards her with every blink of her eye.
She closed them tightly due to fear but when she opened them, she saw a man standing in front of
her whose shadow fell on Mary. She raised her head like a robot and saw the man's face who
looked like a monster.
She could see the monster's hungry red eyes glaring towards her. His canine was as sharp as knife
from which blood was dripping. The finger nails were so long and sharp that it could even tear a
rhino's flesh. The monster looked like an vampire. The monster jumped on Mary and the last thing
heard was her scream which even made the bats fly outside her window and even made me scream.
I turned off my tv in horror. I was watching a horror movie named 'The Vampire'. It gave me goosebumps
and shook my whole body. I was shivering and regretting my decision of watching the horror movie.
Suddenly the lights went out and I realised my dog was not beside me.

It startled me and I began to search for it. I accidentally bumped against something and from the
sound I could guess that I had broken something. I somehow found my phone, turned on its
flashlight and saw that our glass table lamp had broken. Then I went out of the room slowly
making sure that I don't hurt myself from the pieces of the glass. I heard punu barking and I
rushed there without noticing there were stairs ahead. I was about to fall down the stairs, when
punu held my pajama with his mouth and with his whole strength pulled me back. I fell down
backwards one the floor. I was very happy to have found punu. He saved me from falling! I went
down the staircase with punu in my hands. I called our electricity provided to know when the
electricity would come back only to get disappointed by his reply. There would be no electricity
for an hour in my whole colony.

I suddenly noticed a person at the door. I could see her shadow from the window beside the
door. I remember the movie, I was watching and got more scared. I tried to ignore it but the
knocks got louder and louder and since it was also raining heavily, I gave a second thought.
Maybe someone needed help and by the shadow I could guess it was of a lady. I decided to
take a pan for my safety and went towards the door to open it with my dog beside me. I slowly
opened the door. What I saw next, scared me to death. There was a woman standing on the
porch. Her wet hair was covering her face and from a tiny gap I could see her red eyes. The
sight gave me goosebumps and sent a chill down my spine. I, without giving a second thought
smashed the lady on her head with my pan. The ghostly lady fell down unconscious on the
porch. Suddenly the electricity came back and from the door light I could see the ghost face. I
was shocked and my eyes widened to see that the person was none other than my mom's
friend whom I almost smashed to death.
