I'm riding my bike to the store in town to get some butter for my mom. The town I live in is very small. Not many people live here. We have one convenent store, a gas station, a couple of antique stores, a elementary school, a high school and a town hall. Thats pretty much it. Smallie, New Jersey. I'm only 12. As I ride past the old Toller house next door I stop and look at it. No one has lived there in 8 years. Its all run down. Chipped paint everywhere. Broken shudders hanging by one hinge. The front porch with broken boards and the rusty poles. Shingles fallen of on the ground and the a chimney about to crumble. I loved playing with the Toller kids. There parents were always very nice. But then they moved and no one ever wanted to buy the house so it just sits there rotting. I started peadling again and went to the store and bought the butter. I peadled back home and put my bike in the garage. I went inside and gave the butter to my mom. "Thanx hun." she said. I went upstairs and went into my bedroom. My bedroom window was facing one of the Toller houses windows. I looked at the house and saw something inside the window. It was a dark figure looking at me. Is someone really in there. I closed my eyes and opened them again the figure was gone. That was plain wierd. There hasn't been anything in there for years. Years. Whatever I'm just gonna go to bed its getting late. I climbed into bed and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night I woke up with a dry throght. I got up and went downstairs to get something to drink. I drank a glass of water and went back to my room. I got up there and looked out my window to the night sky. I saw a light inside the Toller house. It was moving around then went out. I saw the same dark figure in there moving around holding a candle. I got scared and closed my shades and jumped into bed. Could someone or something be in there. Its starting to freak me out. I ignored it and went back to sleep.~~~~comment and tell me what you think. Im writing it on figment.com and The Runaway there too and Anything Can Happen?? luv ya~jess
