The Third Floor Bedroom
By Sam
It all began when someone left the window open.
One summer day, Bob was having a birthday party at
his house. He invited Joe, Fred, Bill, and Jill. Bob
lived in an old house in the middle of the woods. It
was spooky because he didn’t have electricity. His
parents liked it that way.
Bob and his frends went to his room. There was a
candle on his shelf. He went over and lit it. They
opened the window and looked out. It was getting
dark out. They went downstairs and played games.
All of a sudden they heard a bunch of howling and
evil laughing. They all stood up and ran around.
Then Jill told them he would go look upstairs and
see what it was. They heard a bunch of screaming.
Bob said they should go hide in the basement. He
opened the trap door. there was a ladder leading
down in to a dark scary basement. Then the lights
came on. The basement was filled with armor, swords,
and food. The looked in the corner and there was a
furnace.
Bob pick up a sword and threw it and everything
exploded. Half the house was on fire.
No one survived.
