Never Say Die
“Standing up, she tiptoed to the doorway and listened.
Creak!
The intruder was almost at the top of the stairs. She had to do something.
Mentally, Nancy reviewed the layout of George’s room. There was a softball bat in the corner—or was it in the closet? No good. She needed something else. The desk chair! That was it. It was right next to her sleeping bag. Tiptoeing back, she groped in the dark and found it.
She lifted the chair over her head.
Creak!
Once again Nancy tiptoed back to the door. It... was very dark. She couldn’t see a thing. The door was ajar, she remembered. Feeling with her foot, she found it and pushed it open. Now the way into the hall was clear.
Anxiously, she peered into the void ahead. Should she attack now? Go for it, she told herself. Whoever’s out there can’t see, either.
Slowly, she took a step forward. Then another. And another. Then—whack! The chair hit the doorjamb overhead! Angry, Nancy tried to lower the chair, but she lost her grip. The chair fell to the floor with a crash.MoreLess
