Door security

The rain pelts down as I am on the edge of the covered area. I press the button repeatedly for the doors to open. Stepping to the side to let the crowd of people fall out of the train. I keep my head down and avoid eye contact as I push my way through the doors, holding my purse and flowers close. I enter the train and sit down on the grey fabric splattered with a pattern of coloured shapes. A pungent smell fills my nostrils, as…

The first thing our tour guide said to us was, “Don’t worry about it, the safari car is very safe and the animals are used to people coming through here.” The car was pretty big, seating our whole group plus an experienced driver. It had four tall doors and a few metal bars going up the side of the roof. There wasn’t any netting around the outside of the truck, which made us a little nervous. We all loaded into the safari trucks and our tour guide explained the rules and regulations of being on…

Instead, he left it parked outside the front door; a spot reserved for ambulances only. The four of us then jumped out of the car, slamming the doors behind us. We then ran through the doors marked “Emergency Room”. There we encountered the desk clerk who was a nasty witch and gave us the wrong directions to the emergency room where Carter was being held. As we were…

of the barn. As the barn came into view, I could see it was covered with aged brick and siding. I also saw a sign. I could only read the sign when the lightning flashed, because that was my only light. The sign said, “Lidtke Mill.” I checked the doors to see if they were locked, but once I pushed on them, they flew right open. I was surprised that the inside of the Lidtke Mill was bright and creepy. The building was full of dust and flour, but it had nobody inside. While I stepped closer and…

When she would go visit him, she said he would take an eternity to open up the door (USAToday, 2013). She went on to mention that when the family tried to make travel plans, Castro’s life always got in the way. He didn’t like leaving his house unattended for more than a day at a time he told them. She also recalled that he usually…

I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't so I helped Mamá with Rorra. After about an hour later, everyone was awake and staring at the door, waiting for the officers to come in and tell us that the papers were done. After about half an hour of waiting, the officers came in and told us to go to the restroom, and then wait out into the large room with the fish to leave. We all went to the…

The Death of Kermit It was a windy fall day. Kermit was sipping tea and watching Bob Ross. There was a knock at the door. Kermit carefully put down the tea, and walked over. He looked outside, and didn’t see anything. Then, a screech came from a window upstairs. Kermit followed, and for a split second, he saw a hand hide. He was unsure of what he just saw. Kermit’s heart beat faster, his blood pressure rising. His palms were sweating and he tried to resume Bob Ross. He couldn’t stop…

First, it was dark. Then, I opened my eyes. Damn this daylight savings time, it's 7:50 and it's still dark outside. I don't care that it's morning. I'm already late for school. There's no reason to not sleep even more. It's not like anyone at school is going to care that i'm not there. Except Maxine, but she's my best friend. She kind of has to care about me, but no one is forcing her to care about me. I was asleep for a little while before I received a text from Maxine that woke me up. Her…

my hubby and I collect miniature Garden gnomes and have them at various spots throughout the house. a few weeks ago My family and I left for vacation, and when we retuned the gnomes had all completely changed places. DH was last to leave the house and first to enter it when we got back, and im sure it wasnt him. Some of the gnomes have been glued into place in their new position. At first we were freaked out and thought someone had broken in, but nothing was stolen and there were no signs of…

decided to check him out. None of us thought to question the pumpkin head, but around its arm was a key hanging from a string. I took it over to the barn to see if it worked on the lock, and surprisingly it worked. As we opened up the barn door,we heard a noise in back of us, as we turned we saw the pitchfork stuck in the ground behind us and the scarecrow was gone. Then we heard a rustling on the other side of the barn, and a black hooded figure flashed by a window. We all screamed,…
