I Am Not Afraid!
"I'm heading to bed," I said. "Goodnight!"
"Goodnight," they replied. "We'll be there in just a minute."
The boogeyman, puh-lease, as that song goes, "I ain't afraid of no ghost." I'm going to be 8 soon, I'm a big boy now. I don't have time for such kiddy scares as creepy crawlies or "The Slenderman." I took my night light out a long time ago, no need for it, since I will be a big brother soon.
As of now, it is only the three of us: me, my mom and my dad.
This following weekend, my dad had plans to take my mom somewhere before my little brother or little sister will arrive. Aunty Helen was going to baby-sit for the weekend but she came down with the flu and wasn't going to be able to come over.
My parents were let down that they were not going to be able to leave. I told them that I was a big boy now, and that big boys can take care of themselves. That didn't work. So I used the best trick in the book, harassing them about letting me stay home alone. like other mom and dads, they gave up and I won. This weekend I have the whole house to my self.
So Saturday came, I'm excited. They left this morning, leaving me money so that I could order some take out for supper, "to see if I was grown up." Like any responsible parent, they called me every other minute to check up on me.
That night something happened that normally wouldn't. I watched some horror movies. Normally my parents wouldn't let me watch them. I was sitting on our sofa couch, watching another movie, I had gotten into it, the black Merman thing was carrying the woman into his lagoon when it happened...
As I heard a loud noise, I screamed out loud. I thought my heart would jump out of my mouth. Looking out our extraordinarily large windows I saw that it was raining and the sound of thunder made me yelp. Maybe I'm not as brave as I thought I was.
Going through more movies I looked over at the digital clock, "4:44 AM" it read. I let out a yawn, as it was finally time to go to bed. I made sure all the doors and windows were locked, I turned out the light, until the only source of light in the living room was from a street lamp outside. With another yawn I began to walk out of the room.
"I'm heading to bed," I said. "Good night."
"Good night," they replied. "We'll be there in just a minute."
