It was a usual Monday morning around 9am and Stan was, as usual, trying to get people to spend their money on junk they don't need. Mabel was dressing Waddles up in all kinds of different outfits to match hers (as she does) , sitting with Wendy who was reading her 'avoid eye contact monthly' magazine she always buys, sitting with her feet on the counter top and Soos was out buying his lunch which was his usual ham and lettuce sandwich. I was busy trying to get all the leaves out of the Mystery Shack but they kept blowing in with the gusting autumn wind. 'Mabel! Quit messing with the pig and help your lazy brother sweep them leaves up!' Called the shouting voice of Grunkle Stan. 'I'm trying Stan!' I shouted back, annoyed and brushing the floor more quicker in order to get the remaining leaves out of the shack. As Stan walked into the room with Mabel's brush to help me, he gave me yet another job to do since I was apparently scratching the floor with the brush. 'Go and collect the books off the coffee table and put them back in your room.' Stan said, taking the brush from my tensed hands. I stormed out, muttering to myself about how unfair Grunkle Stan was being.

Whilst I was collecting the heavy books off the coffee table, I unusually heard my name being called in the voice of Mabel, saying 'Dipper come here'. It was unusually because it was coming from up the stairs and I knew that she was sweeping up the floor and talking to Wendy as I heard them giggling from the entrance. I forgot about it as I thought it was my imagination and went up the creaking stairs to my rather untidy room. As I was putting the books back on the shelf, I heard the voice again, still in the voice of Mabel. This time, it wasn't in the same place I had spotted it hiding from me. It sounded like it was coming from downstairs now. It sounded now like Wendy and I was starting to think someone was playing a trick on me so I went downstairs to where I had heard it from and I started laughing. I said 'ha ha very funny I know you're there!' But there was no reply, not a creak in the floorboard nor a single breath taken by no one other than me. I didn't know what to do so I sat down with my back against the wall and listened to the silence to see if it would be disturbed by the unusual callings. I waited for about 10 minutes, legs up, elbows on knees, twiddling my thumbs to make sitting there seem less boring but I heard nothing. Not a peep came from anywhere around me. All I could hear was Mabel and Wendy talking and the sound of Grunkle Stan's car driving off. I thought that it was hopeless just sitting there so I got up and went to go back to the entrance of the Mystery Shack when suddenly I heard it again, coming from Stan's room. 'Dipper come here' it repeated like before. I knew I shouldn't go in Stan's room but I knew he had gone out somewhere so I got up, slowly grabbed the door handle and ever so carefully opened the door. It creaked loudly as I poked my head behind the door to see if anyone was in the room. Lucky for me, no one was so I went into the room and quickly but quietly closed the door behind me. I looked around the room for any signs that were unusual like a track or something but nothing was to find except the bed where Stan sleeps, the nicknacks he owns and a painting that was on hinges with something behind it. I moved the painting to find a box of old junk that was confiscated from us ages ago but laying full of dust under it was a mysterious book with a magnifying glass hanging out of it. There were cob webs hanging off it and the dust layer was so thick it could become skin!

I carefully grabbed the book and blew away the dust, adding a cough as it spread through the air, trying to waft it away from my face. I opened it up and peered in at all the unusual looking creatures and the authors notes he had made describing each one of them. I thought that this was one of the 'souvenirs' from the gift shop at the entrance but I was completely off track...
