I could tell by the sound in her voice that something was wrong so I ran down the stairs to talk to her. “You have to come quick Tom (Julie's husband) fell in the garden and I can’t get him up.” she said almost in tears. For some odd reason, before my neighbor has said anything about someone being hurt, I was already in my dad’s bedroom yelling for him

It was my birthday and I was having the time of my life at my party. It just kept getting better as the day went on. I was turning six and as I was opening all of my presents I just couldn't take the bright smile off my face. I was extremely thankful for everything and after I thanked all my family members for coming and for all the presents, my grandma said, “Wait.

“Fine, thank you. Have you found anything new about who murdered my mother?” Marlene asked. “At this point, we have no suspects, but we are talking to the neighbors to see if anyone saw anything last night or this morning. The CSI team took photographs and checked for fingerprints if you need anything out of the house. You will need to wait until they finish.” “Of course, I understand, I’ll let you do your job,” Marlene said, greeting several ladies gathered, before she left. +++ Turning to

I walked around the truck to grab some boxes. My dad was already in working mode, putting all the boxes in the house. I looked at my neighbor's house, that was a little too close to mine. These places didn't believe in privacy or something. I carried boxes to and from the truck. I walked outside to grab another box when I noticed a girl picking up something in the neighbor's yard. Her long auburn hair was pulled into a ponytail. She didn't notice me, or even look my way. She walked into the house

together. That summer would have been one of our best, but fear is a tricky emotion, that tends to cloud the rest of your thoughts and feelings. We were eating dinner, while our parents were working upstairs. It began with a simple phone call from the neighbors. While I usually take claims of robbers running around in Plainsboro, New Jersey extremely lightly, in that moment, I began feeling genuinely afraid, and frightened for my safety. My brother and I continued to scoff at the idea of a nearby robber

He had even installed real glass panels in the window frames. They cost a pretty penny, and yet absolutely essential in this harsh and extreme

One of the scariest moments in my life happened within seconds. I have lived in the house we are in now for about 10 years. It’s a four story stucco house with a pretty big back yard and a sided two car garage behind it. Then one day just like that, everything had changed.
