Stories at the top to sleep to.

When I was a small kid, I enjoyed running to the top of my stairs as fast as possible.
I guess you could say I thought of it as a silly game. I was five or six at a time. There was sometimes this voice at the top of my stairs, I named the voice Mi. "I bet you a penny you cant make it to the top of the stairs." Mi said to me. I didnt have good counting abilities since I was so young.
I remember having full on conversations sitting at the top of my stairs with Mi. The voice was almost like the whisper of a man's voice. Soon it was betting more dangerous things like my life and others. Instead of pennies I heard "I bet your life you cant make it to the top of the stairs." Mi told me one day. When I got older it suddenly stopped. I didnt tell anyone about it until, my brother and a few friends were over and we were telling stories. My heart sunk when he said "Did it make bets with you?"
