Last cool Saturday night, I woke up from my slumber with a jump. I thought I heard a strange noise. The mysterious noise was loud. I looked all around me with wary eyes. After a few seconds, I was ready to think that I had imagined the noise.
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eyes, a creepy shadow was seen at the corner of my spacious room. It was a tall creature with long, unkempt hair. The creature looked like it was wearing a flowing white dress. Ahhh! I was nearly half-dead with fright. My mouth was wide opened like I was screaming at the top of my lungs, but not even a squeak came out of my mouth. My entire body shivered. I prayed that no harm will come to me.
After a few minutes of hesitation, I braced myself to switch on my bedside lamp. I closed my eyes tightly, as the light illuminated my room. What? I thought to myself when I heard a familiar cough. Oh gosh! I gasped as I realized that the shadow was actually my older sister the moment I opened my eyes. I had totally forgotten that she was sleeping in my room.
My older sister, Wani, told me she had just gone to the toilet, which made the weird noise. The toilet was a few steps away from my room so it was easy for me to hear the noise.
I told Wani what I thought when I saw her shadow with a face as red as a tomato. She and I shared a good laugh before returning to our beds. We slept peacefully for the rest of the night with a smile planted on our lips.
