Keep Your Eyes Closed
"Just keep your eyes closed." Somehow, while doing my sister Melanie's eye makeup, the eyeshadow missed her eyelid and made it into her eye. We don't usually wear makeup, but we had been invited to Mr. and Mrs. Swedel's Halloween Gala, which was a very formal event. It was extremely strenuous to be invited to.

"Melanie? Melanie!" I repeat, and get no reply. Out of the blue, the door opens and slams against the wall, and I see my little sis ter smiling at herself in the mirror.
"Is everything... ok?" I ask her, and she simply nods. I grab her hand, and walk back up the stairs, saying nothing. The metal door is locked.
"Oh, my god. Oh my god. Oh, my god..." I said under my breath. Melanie sa t anxiously on the top step, and I tried my best to open the door. I stop when I hear heavy footsteps coming from
