The Bright Red Ball

“Who’s there?” I asked questionably. There was no response to my question so I went on a pounded on the door telling Danny to hurry up. “Just a minute.” Danny responded. Then a cold breeze hit the left side of my body and I turned to the left to faintly see a little girl standing in the far back of that dark hallway. My heart started to beat at a million miles an hour as I tried to think of what that odd figure was. I started to pound even harder on the door, not taking my eye off that girl down the hall and then Danny opened the door. I jumped back a little bit with a, startled look at the sight of him. “Are you OK Walter? You look like you have seen a ghost.” Danny began to explain to me. “Look down there.” I explained. We both turned our heads down to the end of the hallway, there was nothing but a bright red ball that clearly stood out in the darkness. While Danny and I turned and begun to walk quickly towards the front door I, and I’m pretty sure Danny did too, heard a faint bouncing sound that was following closely behind.
