The house has eyes

              One night these two best friends, Megan and Destiny, had a sleepover at Megan’s house because her parents were out of town on a night that they thought was going great. Her house sits back about 300 or so feet from any other house in their neighborhood and it’s right next to some woods so it was the perfect setting for any horror story. They were stupidly watching The Hills Have Eyes, all comfy and snuggled up on the couch. The movie got a little too scary for their liking and being that they were alone, they decided to pause the movie. Besides, they were extremely hungry and mac ’n’ cheese with hotdogs in it sounded amazing at the moment. So they headed into the kitchen and started boiling some water while they chafed away about how they both were going to have nightmares. 

              All of a sudden somebody or something knocked on the front door, being home alone that was not something they wanted to hear, especially after watching The Hills Have Eyes. Beyond freaked out, they both slowly walked to the front door to see who was there. Out of pure fear, they didn’t see anyone so they opened the door. No one was there. Understandably even more freaked out, they went back to kitchen to finish their mac ’n’ cheese and hoped that nothing would happen. A few minutes later knocks were heard at the door again. Now, about to crap themselves they both grabbed a knife and checked the door again. Once again no one was there. Luckily Destiny lived right up the street and had a big brother, so while she called him and explained the situation and told him he had to come get them immediately, Megan sat on the kitchen floor with a blanket over her head and a foot long knife in her hands, trying not to cry. 

              Finally, after what seemed like forever, her brother came to the rescue and the girls sprinted as fast as they could to his car. While going down Megan’s mile long driveway they saw a man walk across the driveway heading towards the neighbors house. It with out a doubt creeped all of them out and they were all glad to get out of there. After a night of reminiscing about what had just happened to them Megan gets a call from her parents asking if anything happened to them last night. She obviously said yes and as her heart rate flew up she asked them why they asked that. They replied with saying that their neighbors were home alone too and heard someone messing around their house and they guy who they saw walking across their driveway was another one of their neighbors who was checking to make sure everything was alright. To this day no one knows who or what was knocking on their houses but it’s a night none of them will ever forget.

  2. Nice job, Megan! This would have been scary to experience, but it also made me laugh a little. The way you told the story was quite entertaining. I think it could be cleaned up a bit by reorganizing some sentences and placing in some commas n certain places. Great job overall though!

  3. You made me watch the preview for The Hills Have Eyes in Media Literacy and I will never forgive you for that. I can understand why you would be scared! With a few edits, I think this will be a great story.
