When I was little, my family moved to a mansion. There were plenty of empty rooms and plenty of creaking floorboards. Both of my parents were lawyers, so they worked often, and I was alone when I came home from school.
One evening, when I came home, my house was still dark. I called out, “Mother?” and I heard her voice say “Yeeeeeees?” from one of the rooms upstairs. When I called her again while I was climbing up the stairs to look for her, I got the same reply, “Yeeeeeees?”
I didn’t know where she was exactly, because of how large and labyrinth-like the house was, but eventually I found her: she was in one of the rooms at the very end of the hallway at the uppermost floor. I rushed to the room where she was, and, as soon as I put my hands on the door knob, I heard the downstairs front door shut. “Are you home?” my mother asked. I was startled, so I ran out of that hallway, almost tripping on the way back to the front door. As I was running, I was looking behind me out of fear. I saw the door opened to a crack, and, for a brief moment, I saw something strange staring at me.
