In the end

In the attic

The year is 2019

The creepy neighbor across the street watches me as I walk to my bus stop as he does every now and then since I've lived here. He is a tall, elderly looking man. I moved in about a month or two ago and it is the end of my first week at my new school. I met a girl named Cassie. She saw him watching me one day and asked me what it was about.

"You know what I don't know. He's been doing this every now and then since I moved in."

"Well thats wierd it seems like he only watches you"

"I didn't know that you payed so much attention to detail!"

"Well thats all I noticed,"she hesitates then says "today"

"He's been doing this a few times since I started coming here"

"Well what if it's because you are one of the only girls in the neighborhood"

"No I doubt it, but there is something fishy going on with him"

"Like what?"

"Well For one thing he never goes outside."

"Sure like he is a vampire."

"Thats not what i'm saying."

"Then what are you saying."

"That he seems to be acting really weird, also the only lights that ever go on in his house are in the attic."

"Maybe that's because it's where he sleeps."

"I don't knoooow."

"Oh well I've gotta get to class so I'll talk to you later."

"Ok I'll see you later."

"Hi mom" I say once I get into the house.

"Hey sweetie how was your day?"

"Good" I told her about everything I did today. I told her about all my classes and also I told her that I got a ninety percent on my math test and told her that I had some homework to do so I went upstairs into my room.

I went into my room, grabbed my binoculars and watched. I watched for so long that before I knew it I was sleeping and missed my alarm. My mom came to wake me up and I told her I didn't feel good so she told me to lay in bed.

Once I was sure she had left I hurried to get dressed and I walked outside. I must have walked out at the perfect time because the neighbor had just pulled out of the street. He must have to go and get some groceries even a person like him needs food I think as I walk around. The man left his garage open so out of my curiosity I went inside.

His house is nice but very old. It has antique stuff such as dressers and desks. I look around and then I see the stairs to the attic and go up. I go up slowly and quietly just in case there is anyone here. I slowly peek my head up and see something that I probably shouldn't have seen.

Hey guys I hope you like this if you do let me know and I will continue it. :-) love you guys and I will see you in the next chapter.
