Home alone

It was about 9:30 at night.I was watching a program on tv not exactly acceptable for my age and my brother was in the kitchen stuffing himself with ice cream. I was about 13 at the time and he was 8. We were home alone, It was the first time my parents had trusted me to stay home without a babysitter. So much for trust. We had both fallen asleep on the sofa downstairs. Thats when I heard the noise, nock nock. It woke me up so I wasnt very happy. I learned over to look at the clock it was midnight. “great, its probubly some ding-dong ditchers.” I mumbled. I went over to the door, opened it. nobody was there “humph.” Then I felt a weird tugging feeling, it pulling me outside. So I screamed my little brother came running. He told me it might be a ghost so I tried doing a ghost communication thing. When I ask a question the “thing” will answer with 1 nock for yes and 2 nocks for no. The first thing I asked was, are you good? a few seconds later I got 1 nock. I was tremendously relived. Then I herd a second nock.
