That’s all he can recall now since that had happened over seven years ago. Things had started to get worse as he grew older. He had started being aggressive. If you had said a certain thing or insulted him, he would blow up in an outrage trying to kill you in the process. That had been going on for 5 years now, but now, now it has gotten much worse.

He woke up. It was night time. He looked around his room. His window was open. moonlight was pouring onto the floor and the curtains were billowing from the wind. He got up to close it and…

“Assssshhhhhhtttooooooonnnnnnn” in a creepy voice

He turned around, immediately sweating in fear.

“Who’s there?!” he said fearfully

“I have been waiting a long time for this moment, Ashton”

“Where are you?!”

“I’m behind you” said the voice, sounding closer.

Ashton turned around and…

*thunk*

“Honey, what was that?” said Mrs. Mattox

“It was just the house settling” Said Mr. Mattox

“I’ve never heard it sound like that”

“Just don’t worry about it”

“I’m going to go check on the kids”

“Ok, just hurry up.”

So Mrs. Mattox went to go check on Cassie. She was gone. Fearful on where her other children might be, she ran to Jake’s room. He was gone as well! So she sprinted up to Ashton’s room and she heard wind. She cracked open the door and seen that the window was open. Thinking that her son had jumped out the window, she rushed into the room and looked down from the second floor. Nothing. She turned around and…

“Hello”

*screaming*

Mr. Mattox was instantly awake. He rushed to the wall to grab his rifle. He opens up his bedroom door and heads down the hall. The front door was open, letting in the moonlight. He had took one step and heard…

*thump thump thump thump thump*

Then right after the sounds stop, a shadow darts across the end of the hall.

“What in the heck?”said Mr. Mattox.

He walks closer to the end of the hall. Then he hears a sound like sandpaper on wood behind him and something was in mid flight at him and… BANG!!! Mr. Mattox looks down at the body and figures out…its his son!

“WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!?!” screams Mr. Mattox as loud as he can.

Then, he pulls the gun onto himself.

The End

author’s note: this story is one of my favorites I have made up. If you have good imagination, this is better than seeing scary movies. I even scared myself while reading this when I was finished because the sandpaper on wood sound happened to me. It was folders falling off my desk. Lol. Wel thank you for reading.
