House of a Thousand Screams
“I felt helpless, like a bird facing a snake.
We were cornered. Was this the end? Were they coming for us?
I heard Freddy whimper behind me. He sounded really scared. Not that I could blame him. My heart thudded like crazy in my chest. I felt cold sweat trickle down my back.
And then the doorknob stopped moving.
My breathing stopped too, for a moment. I shoved the magic glasses up on my nose and stared at the crack under the door. Were poltergeists about to start popping through?
Or something wo...rse than poltergeists?
But nothing happened. Nothing at all.
After about five minutes my muscles started to relax. Maybe we’d live until morning after all. Still, I didn’t want to take too many chances. . . .
“I think we should keep watch,” I told Freddy. “We’ll take turns. I’ll do the first watch. I’ll wake you in an hour for the second. Deal?”
Freddy nodded gloomily. “Deal. But I’m too scared to fall asleep anyway.”
“Try,” I said, and patted him on the shoulder. Poor little Brainiac.MoreLess
