Short Story “Reng! Reng! Reng!” The phone rang but why no one answer. I wondered where mom was, she should picked me up by now. My name is Abby, I’m at my friend party and my mom said she will pick me up by 10 pm but now it already 10:30pm but no sign of her anywhere. “Hey Abby, need a lift?” A voice came from the car park. I turned back and looked; it was Adora, she looked at me with a kind smile. She is my class mate, she really kind and adorable. Well it looks like her name said it all. It was quite late so I was very happy to take the offer. Her mom drove me home; it was about 11pm when I got home. “ Good night and thanks for offer me a lift home Adora” I said with a grateful voice. After I said goodbye to them I went into the house. That’s strange why isn’t the door lock? I thought, and then I went into the house. “Jezz, My stupid brother Max had the tomato sauce all over the sofa again I was sick of cleaning all his mess already” I mumbled as I went to the kitchen took a towel from the rack to clean it up. When I got to the sofa I was stunned, Max was lying there on the sofa in the puddle of tomato sauce (or is it blood?) and didn’t move at all. After a while I calm down and come closer to shake him. “Come on Max, wake up. Alright you got me I was really scared for a while” I said as I shook him. “That’s enough Max come on help me clean up this mess” I said in an unpleased voice and give him a little push. Max fell down the sofa just like a doll, I was surprised and frightened. I went closer to check if he’s alright. “ OMG, his heart had stop, what’s happen here” I almost screamed.

I went up stair and took a knife with me, just in case. I went to my room, it was still tidy and clean here, it didn’t look like anything has happened here. Then suddenly I heard a running sound come toward to my room. Quick as a flash, I crawled under the bed. There someone dashed in and looked the door right away. I tried to move as quietly as I can to see who is it? It was my mother, I was so happy and relief. Then I turned back and tried to crawl out of the bed, and then suddenly “Bam” the door was opened widely. I crawled down the bed again and kept quite. A man came in, holding a knife dripping with blood on his hand. “Please let me go, please” my mom shouted and cried but it didn’t seem to be heard by the man. “ahhhhhh!” a scream from my mom, and that the last sound I heard from her. It was terrify, I had to bit my hand to keep myself quiet. Then the man left, I was lying there cried and cried. Cried of horror cried of pain, cried of hatred and how a weakling I am.

I lied there and wait until morning. The night was long, so long that sometime I thought it will never end. I was so tired and I had fallen asleep that I didn’t even notice. When I wake up it was morning, I thought every thing was over so I ran out into the street hoping to find some help. When I ran down stair…Suddenly “uhm…uhm….” I tried to scream but someone has covered my mouth with a small towel. I pushed him away as hard as I could. “what’s… hap..happen?” I couldn’t felt any strength left in my body then slowly I fell asleep. “ who’s…. th…there?....who… is… there?...” Then the whole room fell into silence, so silence…
