As the story progresses, it is Sunday morning and her family is getting ready to attend a family bar-b-queue. However, Connie insists on not attending and is left alone at home. As she is washing her hair, she hears an unfamiliar car driving up to her house and her heart begins to pound for she does not want the visitor to see her undone. When Arnold Friend, a man she has seen at the restaurant before, but has never spoken to, shows up on her doorstep, she is someone curious as to why he is visiting her.

As the scene develops, Connie no longer has interest in Arnold for she now is scared and is fearful of what his intentions are.
Slowly she began to back away toward back door; she pressed her back against the fly screen and wrapped her hand around the door handle. Footsteps made their way toward their door and a fist banged against the wood, the door ricocheting off the fist and wiggling. Her mother then gasped and slowly walked to the door, wrapping her hand around her belly she opened the door and Djinda darted to hide in the kitchen.

Unfortunately the package only came with four tickets, so we had to travel alone. After six long hours of being in a private jet, we arrive in California. “Woah, look at that! Oh, and that! And that!” “We get it Agustin, you are amazed by Los Angeles,” Jacob said with a smirk. “Ok Mr. Hollywood, not everyone gets to travel around the world whenever they want,” Agustin backfired. Makenzie soon interrupted the argument with a scream. ‘Oh my gosh! Look! Hannah, look who that is,” Makenzie said, with tears trying to break out of her eyes. I glance over to my left, and I notice Justin BIeber and Shawn Mendes having a conversation. I felt as if i was going to black out. Then I see them getting closer and closer. Boy, is this a dream come

Suddenly, the rusty door starts to open. When Sally saw Aunt Sarah’s hideous face,she started to scream. “AHHH,”
As he stumbled through the wet forest, branches smacking his face and bushes tugging at his boots, he spied a little cottage, with smoke rising from the chimney. He walked up to the porch, completely unaware of the feeling that he’s being watched. He knocked thrice upon the door of the cottage, and waited in the pouring downfall. The door

All Natalie could see was the endless forest of tall redwood trees in every direction. The sun glistened just over the horizon, turning the sky the dark orange color of sunset. Feeling overwhelmingly alone, she looked down at her light brown tabby cat, Merlin. He was fairly small, with paws
I haven’t thought about my old town in years, and here I am in front of my childhood home preparing myself for what I might see when I walk through this door. As I reached for the handle, the door swung open practically hitting me in the face. Astonished, I stood there utterly astonished. What made me even more surprised was the person opening the door…”Miss Caroline?” She seemed to have not realized me and ran off in a hurry.

Monotony had apprehended her. Throwing herself upwards, the girl quickly gathered her sprawled limbs and stood erect; the stiffening noise threatened to clog her throat once more. She could feel herself asphyxiating as the crunching drew closer. I must have left the door open, I must have left the door open, I must have left the door open, repeated in her head like a mantra. Tears began to wash down her face; she quickly wiped them away, hoping the night would mask their tracks. He was approaching.

It was just another regular day in New York for Brad. One could tell he was just getting off his night shift from being a custodian at the local mall, as he was wearing his raggedy uniform. Brad was walking down the sidewalk, looking filthy and greasy, when a woman
“I don’t understand it…” she wept. Deep down inside I felt sorry for her. Ever since her dad died she’s been increasingly depressed. I look at the couch next to her and take my report card. Why is she so sad? I run to my room as Kai looks at me as if I had killed our mother. I won’t dare to open it.
