A Midnight
Robbery
By Evripidis Sidiropoulos
I was home
alone. It was a hot summer midnight. I was trying to sleep, although it was
hot. My parents were out and my sister told them that she would sleep at a
friend’s house. Suddenly, a strange noise came from the kitchen. I was
terrified! Someone was stealing us. I took my old guitar and went downstairs.
When I got in
the kitchen, I saw the refrigerator door open. With a quick and silent move,
I closed it to the person who was behind and I was just about to hit him or her
with my guitar. I was shocked when I saw it was my sister.
She explained
to me that our parents were angry with her, because she had broken an expensive
vase that afternoon. After that, she pretended that she was leaving, but hid in
the garden and waited until our parents left. Then, she came silent back to
house, because she wanted to see a movie on her TV and at that moment she was taking food
for her.
It was so
funny and unbelievable that our parents didn’t believe us. It was a nice
experience because I learned not to panic and do something quickly in
emergencies. And my sister gained something from this experience: a big lump at
her head!
A scary night
By Panagiota Tziveli
It was a rainy night and I was at home alone because
my parents were out. So I didn't miss the opportunity and saw my favorite scary
movie. I had invated my best friend but unfortunately she couldn't come.
While I was watching the scariest part, I saw a shadow
at my door. At first I thought that probably it was just an illusion but as
time passed and this shadow wouldn't leave my door, I actually began to fear. Without
making a noise, I turned off the TV and hid in my closet. My fear grew when I
heard loud footsteps and finally it culminated when the door opened.
At that
moment I said to myself :"Get out and whatever it is, you can face it", I came
down the stairs cliking on the toes of my feet when the lights turned on. Can you
imagine who it was? Yes, it was my parents and as they saw me suddenly, they
started to scream, but not only them, me too. It was so funny! Then I told them
what had happened and they told me that the loud footsteps came from them, but
not the shadow.
Finally I never knew what the shadow was, but I was taught a
very good lesson:"Not to see a scary movie alone again"!
