      I hate my basement! I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!  It's the creepiest place in town. Let me explain.
       There is a leak in the roof, every time I go in there I forget and slip and fall on my behind. The furnace turns on automatically and scares the fagebies out of me. Also, in the very back of the basement, where I don't have to guts to go, there is a light that is always on. My mom won't tell me what it is. And to make matters worse the washer and dryer are down there and I have to do my own laundry. So yeah, it's pretty creepy.  I mean, wouldn't you be scared too?
       Yeah so anyways, I haven't introduced myself yet. Silly me, my name is Brooklyn. So now that we have been introduced let me tell you my story.
         It all started on the day I decided to put on my "big girl pants" and explore the basement. Let me tell you, I have lived  in this house for five years and I have only went far enough into the basement to do laundry. So I open the door and walk down the creaky steps to the basement. Like usual I slip and fall on my butt. (I should have probably learned my lesson by now, but I haven't.) While I'm on the floor (it's actually pretty comfortable) a spider crawls up my leg! Remember when I said it was comfortable? Do you remember that, like two seconds ago when i said that? Yeah so, now I want this floor dead. I know what your thinking... "Brooklyn it's a dang floor you can't kill it!"...... But you know? I can find a way! I wan this floor DEAD! Okay? Okay.
       So back to my mission. I walk to the back of the room and hear buzzing. Uh oh! It sounds like some huge bee is behind this wall!! I bang on the wall and the buzzing stops. Weird. Hey, there's and axe on the floor. Did I ever tell you I was kinda stupid. I'm not like blonde stupid, no, I'm the "I'm going to do what I want, when I want it, stupid" So my stupidness kicks in and I smash the wall with the axe. I know, smart right?
       Oh. No.
       So that buzzing I heard? You know how I described it as a huge bee sound? Yeah, it is a huge bee! But it's behind a window......
