My parents had gone out for there weekly date night so I was just playing video games in my room like I always had when they went out for a night on the town. I was about to call my friend Matt over until I heard a knock on the door. I was very confused as it was 12:30 at night and someone was knocking at my door. I decided to go down stairs and answer it when I realized the knocking was coming from the back door. Now I was really confused as I had a high fence to my backyard that I could barely climb. I looked out the window of the door and saw a middle aged man. He had a confused look on his face, almost like he needed something. I decided to just lower the window on the door so there was still a screen between us. I ask him what he needed he told me to come outside because he needed to show me something. I told him no and that he needed to leave or I would call the police. After that he agreed to leave, I shut the window and went back upstairs to call my dad to inform him what had happened he told me to stay in my room and they would be home soon. After about another hour of video games I decided to go down stairs to check everything out. When I got down the stairs I could see through the den that the back doors window was open and the screen had been cut through. My heart started pounding really fast. I then looked down the hallway and saw that my dad's office door was open which was odd because my dad always shuts the door. It was really dark and I could not see down into the office. I took out my phone opened the camera and turned the flash on. I pointed the phone down the hallway pointing in the office I pressed the button the phone flashed an took the picture. When I opened an looked at the picture my heart actually skipped a beat. I saw a man about 6'3 staring down the hallway looking straight at me. I then ran back upstairs and locked myself in my room in case he was chasing after me. I called the police and then my dad. Three minutes later I saw out the window my parents pulling up. I yelled downstairs "The cops are here" the man the. Ran out the back door my dad tried running after him but he got away. Even though my parents weren't the police saying that to him could have saved my life as the police didn't show up for another ten minutes. After this night I never saw the man agin.
