The Hallway Door

I am Lilian Rockenston

I was looking out of my bedroom window holding a notebook and a pencil in one hand, and a mini telescope with a flashlight in the other. It was almost 2 am and I was just staring at the Crubilous house across from me. There was one light on in the left corner of his house. "I have to sleep! I have done this every night since I was fourteen! This is crazy!" I thought to myself. I put away my notes and telescope and crawled into bed. I couldn't sleep. All I could think of was what was in the Crubilous house and why. I decided to call my best friend, Leni. She always calmed me, even though I should be used to it since I call her every night. Ring Ring...
Leni: Hey girl! You still obsessing over the Crubilous house?
Lilian: Duh! Of course I am! It's just so strange.
Leni: You are strange! Maybe we could go to his hou-
Lilian: NO! We can not let him know that we even exist! He could hurt us! Although, he has been in that house for over 300 years. All of my neighbors are creepy! I wanna move to your house!
Leni: Calm down! If he hurt us, it would be child abuse, or in this case, teen abuse.
Lilian: Leni! That doesn't help this situation!
Leni: Well... what if I could get all our friends together and we all go to his house at night!
Lilian: Dude, NO! He keeps a light on in ONE bedroom! It's scary in there!
Leni: How do you know?
Lilian: *sarcastically* I don't know? Maybe I have not just been watching him for the past 5-6 years!
Leni: *sigh*
Lilian:*laugh* Well, just maybe...
Leni: *evil grin*
Lilian: We could...
Leni: *smiles wide in excitement*
Lilian: Do....... nothing!
Leni: ugh! Come on please!
Lilian: We can talk about this tomorrow. I need to get my sleep.
Leni: *giggle* Okay! Bye!
Lilian: Bye!
Both Leni and I knew that I wasn't gonna go to sleep right then. I just wanted another little peek! I opened my curtain and saw the house with only one light on. But this time, there was a man in a creepy hallway. I couldn't tell what he was holding, but he looked sad and gloomy. I felt, kinda bad for staring at him almost every night. I closed my curtain and fell asleep in my bed. Good night, I told myself.
