Blowing trees cast frightful shadows upon the haunted house. A whistling wind called me from inside. Trembling, I stepped through the open door and into the abandoned mansion. The stairs creaked as I warily placed my weight upon them. An eerie glow seemed to follow me through the grand hallway freezing only when I did. I let the worry slip my mind just as the door slammed, I knew I wasn’t alone. I silently spun on my heel and ran to the stairs, my breath coming in short ragged gasps. I broke through the door and sprinted for my life.
