Escaping From The Man In My House

Escaping From The Man In My House

In my house alone I'm watching tv having a good time. I hear a bang but it wasn’t super loud so I ignored it and began watching tv. I started to hear creaking but thought nothing of it because my house is old. Then I hear what sounded like someone walking around in the kitchen. I started to panic a little bit but then calmed down. I thought to myself what I should do. I then walked up to my door and slowly pushed it all the way open. As I walked downstairs I saw a stranger rummaging through my kitchen cabinets. He looked homeless, with his long grey beard, no shoes, and he was really skinny. I began to panic again and slowly walked back up the stairs. On the top step as I was lifting my foot up the stairs creaked. It sounded like he started walking towards the stairs, so I quickly walked back into my room. I heard him coming up the stairs so I hid under my bed with my blanket to cover me. I forgot to shut the door. I saw a shadow creeping up to my door. I was so terrified, I couldn’t imagine what was going to happen next if he found me. He reached the top of the stairs. I could see him through a little sliver of my blanket that was covering me. He walked into my room slowly. I could tell that he was scared as well.

The first place that he checked was in my closet. He crept up to my closet with a menacing smile on his face thinking that the person who saw him was in there. He grabbed the handle and swung my closet open. He turned the lights on in my closet. He walked in there to look around for me. I began to panic again but quickly calmed down and thought of what to do next. I pulled the blanket away from my body and started to army crawl out from under my bed. I knew that I had to crawl out fast to getaway. I crawled out as fast as I could. I ran out of the door and slammed it behind me. I ran down the stairs and out of the door. I stuck my hand in my pocket to grab my phone and call 911. My phone wasn’t there it must have slipped out of my pocket when I crawled out. I knew that I had to go back into the house to get my phone, but how. I looked through the windows one by one trying to find him. He was standing in the kitchen again. I knew that I had to get upstairs. I ran to my backyard and there was a ladder leaning up against the wall. I grabbed it and put it up against my bedroom window. I climbed up and opened up the window slowly. I heard him downstairs eating. I crawled through the window and tiptoed to my bed. I looked under my bed and grabbed it. My heart was racing then I heard him coming back upstairs. I crawled back out of my window and saw him by the door. I slammed the window shut jumped to the ground , and pulled the ladder away from the window and ran to my neighbor's house to call 911. I told them that there was an intruder in my house. They were there within two minutes and took him to jail.
