Scarecrow
by Eggie
It was late summer, and my family and I went on holiday in the countryside. We rented a cottage. It was a bit creepy because it was covered in red and green ivy, and the scarecrow looked evil. I didn't feel safe there at all! That night I found out I was sleeping in the living room because my mum and dad wanted the master bedroom and my brother wanted the other room. That night went ok.
The following morning my mum, dad and brother went to get gifts for family and friends, so I was in the house on my own - which was ok until the phone rang.... I was in the kitchen making myself a sandwich, so I ran into the living room to get the phone. When I picked up the phone, there was no answer; all I could hear was breathing. I got creeped out, so I hung up.
Then I started to feel slightly uneasy, like someone was watching me. I tried to forget about it and went back into the kitchen to get my sandwich. I looked out of the window and at the farm, and I noticed the scarecrow wasn't there! Now I was starting to get scared. I went into the living room with my sandwich and sat down and turned on the TV to take my mind of it....
But then someone knocked on the door. I looked out of the window... there was no one there. At this point I was about to call my parents because I was really starting to panic. I ran into my mum's bedroom and hid under the quilt. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw that freaky scarecrow in the window! It was in our back garden! How did it get there? Who was on the other end of the phone? And who knocked on the door?
