"YES!" I scream as my favorite football team scored the touchdown. My name is Ryan Parks. I live in California and I love to read and watch football on TV and I have always had an interest in anything paranormal. I am inside my house all alone because my parents went out for date night. I go into the kitchen to make some popcorn. I am feeling a bit weird about this night because this is the first time I've been left home alone. Once my popcorn finishes cooking I head back into the living room to watch the game. As I sit down I see out of the corner of my eye a black figure standing in the corner. I look over and no hint is there. "Hues I must be seeing things." I say to myself. As I am watching the game I notice my porch light keeps going on and off. I go over and draw the window curtains back and as I do the porch light stops. I shut the curtains and I go back to watching the game. The the TV goes static, I mess around with the cords for a while but it won't let work. I head down to my basement and I check the breaker. Everything is working fine so there shouldn't be any problems. Then I hear someone say something. I turn around only to see my dark basement. I head up stairs and as I shut the door the TV starts working again. I sit down and as I do the porch light goes off again. I ignore it and when it stops I hear a door opening up stairs. I don't want to go look. I walk up stairs and I shut my bedroom door that probably got blown open by the wknd. I go down stairs and sit down and I hear the door again. I grab the phone and I dial my mom. I put the phone to my ear and j can hear static, that's it. Then I hear my door shut. I set the phone down and go back to watching the game. Then the TV goes static again.

I wrote this story in 7th grade and I am a freshman in high school currently so don't expect much out of it. This was my first good piece of writing and I got amazing feedback from my creative writing class. I just wanted to get something up on here so I will have more and better work up soon. Let me know what you think and if you would like me to post more chapters of this story!
