The Final Nightmare
“I tried sitting up and staring out at the windows, but the tall, shadowy trees made the yard look spookier than ever. So I got back in bed and pulled the covers over my head and tried to relax.
Not a chance. A million thoughts were racing through my mind. Thoughts about the ghosts and what they really wanted and why it had been my rotten luck to spend summer vacation in a haunted house.
I even tried counting sheep, but nothing worked.
Maybe if I fixed myself a glass of warm milk. That was suppo...sed to make you sleepy, right?
But that would mean getting up and going downstairs to the kitchen, and that was the last thing I wanted to do. Because whenever I ventured outside my room at night in this house, something terrible happened.
I was thinking about that when I heard somebody tiptoe down the hall to Sally’s room. Must be Mom, checking to see that my little sister was okay.
I lay there waiting, expecting to hear Mom go back to her own room. But there was nothing.
Nothing but a faint, creaky noise.MoreLess
