A Sleep-over to Remember

It all began on Wednesday morning when my friend was to pick me up from my house. I was so excited I couldn't wait to go.

When my friend had picked me up, he showed me around his new house- new as he only just recently moved into it. It was amazing because there was lots of room inside his house to fit in heaps of things. I was amazed. It was very obvious that the size and space of the house was a key reason as to why they
had moved there.

Once my friend had shown me around, we watched some videos on his iPad and we played some two player games on his PS3. The videos we had watched were really funny and later on we played his PS3 games. It seemed like we’d played for a few minutes but it was hours and we forgot about the time as we
played.

Later on, after we played some video games, my friend,his little brother and I went down to the dairy to buy something to eat. We had lots of money to spend so we bought what we had wanted. After we bought our food we sat down on a nearby bench and ate it and returned later on.

The Next day my friends mum had taken me and my friend back to my house. I had lots of fun when I was at his place and there was never a dull moment.

The Night that was

It was a dark and stormy night. A deluge of rain hammered down on the roof of my house as I lay silent in bed. By the time I had fallen asleep something had awakened me from my slumber. I went to take a look and see what it was. I bravely took with me a flashlight to see everything around me.

Once I got outside a bolt of lightning caught my attention, and there it was. It was larger than bigfoot and way scarier. I took out my flashlight and pointed it at it but it quickly evaded and got away. I took another look around to see where it was. I checked the back of the house.

I was very cautious and discovered footprints all over the ground, and I had just gotten the most genius idea. If I had followed trail it would led me right to him. When I reached the end it wasn’t there. I went back inside and went to bed.

THUD! I heard a loud crash as if a bomb had just detonated. My parents heard the commotion and rushed off outside to see what had happened. I stayed put to be on the safe side. I heard my parents come back inside and silently go back to bed.

I decided to go and have a look myself I took a look around and saw a small crater in the front yard. I looked around for evidence of the creatures existence. When I looked up I saw a large creature standing on the other side of the small crater. IT was here. This time I did not hesitate to get out my flashlight and pointed it at him.

I was shocked. It wasn’t even there. I saw nothing at all. After all this time it was just my shadow playing tricks on me. I felt pretty stupid. I thought to myself why were there footprints, How’d my shadow appear up on the roof, and what was the loud noise.

The next day I figured the answers to my questions when I looked at the cameras on my house. the footprints were left by a dog passing by and the thing on the roof was nothing at all, it was just the shadow of the tree when the lightning struck. The loud noise turned out to be broken glass when a tree broke through it. The crater was a hole the dog dug up. I felt happy that this mystery was finally solved.
