Bad Luck
“Someone's there!” I whispered. The shadow disappeared in an instant. As the flame flickered and then went out, darkness filled the room with fear. I heard footsteps coming from the adjacent room. “They’re looking for me,” I mumbled. My heart stopped for a second and I felt nervous all over. I tried to escape through the window but I couldn’t. All I could do was hide. I went to a corner, closed my eyes and wished that this day would soon be over.
