The
Scratches
by Anonymous
About five minutes later, it started again, but this time it was really loud, like it was scratching through the ceiling. This time we were really scared so we ran to the window and yelled down to our parents to come in. We didn't want to leave the room because we were afraid that whatever was making that noise might get us. Our parents could tell something was wrong so they ran up the stairs and asked us what was wrong. We told them about the scratching that we had heard and they said it was probably the pipes in the house or the house settling. To prove to us that nothing was in the room below us, they decided to take us to it to look for ourselves. We went to the room below the playroom, which was my dad's study. At first everything looked normal just as it always had, that is until we looked up. The ceiling had huge scratch marks in it! The gashes were probably five inches long and one forth of an inch deep. I started to cry and my mom and dad picked us up and ran out to the front yard. We stayed at a hotel for a couple of days so they could figure out what to do. We moved out of the house a few weeks later. I will never forget that house or the day we left. I felt so relieved to be anywhere but there.
