The Knock

In the warm month of April. I was enjoying my summer like any teenager would, losing my mind browsing my phone. It was a relatively cool day so my AC was off, and my bedroom door was open. I was browsing my Facebook account when I heard a knock on my window. I was close to window as my bed was positioned near it, so I clearly heard it, plus my AC was off. My heartbeat slowly rose. I was an avid reader of all-things Creepypasta so I'm naturally paranoid. I turn off my phone and press my ears close to the glass, only to nearly die of a heart attack as my dog's ball landed at the foot of my doorway. My dog soon came after it, biting it and going back to the living room to play with whoever tossed it, probably my cousin. I was listening when a horrible realization dawned upon me, no-one was in the house. My parents were out shopping, my cousin was at her friend's house, and our helper was out. So, who threw the ball? I felt my face pale as I rushed to meet my dog. I didn't dare look at the living room as I scooped him up and rushed out the backdoor. I waited for my parents to come back as I didn't dare go back in.
